I would like to say that, after looking at your website, I am disheartened on behalf of other emetophobics. Firstly, the FAQ's are inaccurate and aggressive. I'd like to advise you that, yes, emetophobia is EXACTLY like other phobias - it works in the same way, has the same maintenance mechanisms and can debilitate people as can other phobias (e.g. social phobia, agoraphobia). Secondly, I wouldn't advise ANYONE to present their phobia to a therapist in the way you suggest, because it's unnecessarily rude and aggressive. Suffering from emetophobia does not excuse this. Finally, how can you possibly compare phobic reaction to trauma resulting from sexual abuse? This shows ignorance and self-indulgence and, frankly, you really should get your facts right before developing a website like this. You may be doing more harm than good with over-zealous, pseudo-psychological personal anecdotes and opinions.
