    I am new to this website but not new to emetophobia. I have always hated v* eversince I can remember but it started controling my life around 15. I am 20 now and I have done all there is to do here in my home state. My Aunt is letting me live with her in Boston, which is scary for me too since I have never been away from home. I was just wondering how long it takes once you get the right type of therepy...just a general time frame so I can prepare for it.

    I dont know, it depends on what kind of therapy, how well you respond, and how hard you work at it, and how good your therapist is.
    It's always harder with this particular phobia.
    Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

    Check out my website articles - you'll find lots of info there about therapy and the timeframe. Be prepared for the long haul, though. Emetophobia is a serious phobia and can't just be treated in 10 sessions.

    Thank you so much sage. I have been to your site a ton of times but never read that part. I just want to tell you that you have inspired me to face two of my biggest fears...leaving my mum at home and getting the therepy I need to rid myself of this terrible phobia. I am moving to my Aunts house in Massachusetts and getting help. Would you happen to know anyone in that area who has worked with emetophobia?
