I liked that the advice was so down to earth and sensible, whether it was the point that seeking reassurance does you no good in the long run (exactly right and something that Sage herself agreed with), or that the way to overcome the anxiety is to do the thing that scares you, over and over again. In fact, it was this specific piece of advice that I've had in mind all through my CBT and is the reason why I decided for myself that, for example, every YouTube clip I watched had to be seen a number of times (I opted for six times, multiplied by the fifteen clips so far) and not just once.
I've even referenced the thread a couple of times in posts as I was so impressed with it, so I'd be very grateful if someone could please look through the archives and find it again as I'm sure it would help others if they can read it as well.
Finally, congratulations to vixki/Emma for being able to type that wonderful sentence in her first post on this thread - "I don’t have emetophobia anymore"!
