    Smile Emetophobe on Jeremy Kyle!

    Did anyone else see the Jeremy Kyle episode with an emetophobic lady on? It was a couple of weeks ago now, but just thought I'd ask because it was quite interesting to actually see something on tv about emetophobia! I very rarely meet anyone that's ever even heard of it, so it was cool to see something that might make people more aware and understanding

    I did I did!
    I even got my mum to watch that segment with me so she could see how real this phobia is! Gosh she was shaking so much I just wanted to give her a hug, I would have thought Graham would have spoken more in depth about the phobia though! Likewise, it was very interesting to see someone with emetophobia on TV rather than... well I never read or hear about emet being talked about anywhere so it was really interesting! I wonder how that lady got on in the aftercare?

    I didnt see it cos I was in work but my daughter saw it and told me about it. She said the poor woman was in a terrible state but cos she doesnt see me when I panic (I like to be alone when Im panicking) she had no idea it could be so bad. It made me feel good that it was on tv and also that my daughter got to see what this phobia is capable of doing to a person.

    Haha yeah I made my boyfriend watch too!

    I agree, Graham normally has a lot to say lol, was hoping for a bit more info about it so that people would understand how common it is and how much it can take over your life! You know it's gonna be a good one if Graham actually comes on stage though :P

    Yeah I wondered what sort of aftercare she would get, whether they'd provide her with therapy for the actual phobia or just to make her feel more confident in herself and her parenting skills.. Hmmm..!

    I actually found it really saddening how she felt as though she was a bad mother because she couldn't be around her children when they were *s Ha! I know right, Graham always has a lot to say but well he can't have known that much of the phobia... I really hope she got therapy for the actual phobia rather than raising her confidence!

    Okay wow I just typed in 'emetophobia jeremy kyle' and a couple of pages down there are loads of tweets ridiculing this lady because of her emet!! It's awful to read

    Is it just me or does anyone el se get made fun of watching JK? Lol did anyone watch it this morning? That couple first thing were hilarious.... "he hasn't bathed in 3 years!"

    I know what you mean! That is something I worry about though, that if I ever did have children I would shelter them too much or even be scared of them because of them getting ill! I really hope they helped her phobia too, it'd be interesting to see what kind of aftercare the show provides.

    Eugh that's horrible, I hate how ignorant people can be sometimes. If someone was afraid of heights or spiders no one would have much to say about it! I wish people could understand that just because it's less heard of, that doesn't make it any less real!

    Hahaa I used to be guilty of making fun of people for watching it, but my boyfriend's really got me into it and now I love a bit of Jezza :P to be fair some of the stories are pretty moving...

    ..Others are just entertaining :P

    Since I am allowed to post links, there you go. Thanks for doing the work to find this LW12. Graham actually sounded like he might know how to treat emet. No talk of snapping out of it or making yourself v* or anything like that. CBT and gradual exposure therapy do have a high rate of success for many people if you're willing to change your thinking and put the work in.

    Graham is awesome!! Completely OT but the other day I read that Jeremy Kyle suffered with OCD && that he licked his phone to make sure it's clean...As a person who suffers with not only emet but OCD that's DISGUSTING!

    Haha no way, that's really random xD

    Yeah I like Graham too, he's quite down to earth about stuff, rather than just doing the whole 'get over it' thing lol..!
