    Default I overcame emetophobia completely after 40 years!

    Hi,

    I struggled with emetophobia for forty years and it affected every part of my life! I overcame it completely with The Thrive Programme by Rob Kelly. There is a specific programme called 'Cure your emetophobia and Thrive' which is evidence based and has loads of research to back it up. I tried so many different treatments and therapies before this but nothing worked for me. Thrive is different, it's not therapy-it's a training programme which teaches you how to change your limiting beliefs and manage your unhelpful thinking styles.
    My life has changed completely since completing the programme and because I felt so passionately about it I trained to become a Thrive Consultant and now specialise in helping others to overcome it.
    Take a look at the website and check out all of the video testimonials of people who have been through it. The book is available on Amazon, read the reviews, it really works!!
    I feel so fantastic now I don't have that debilitating fear every minute of everyday - You don't have to live with emetophobia!!
    I overcame it and so can you!!

    Kind regards,
    Claire Rogers

    That's fantastic Claire, I'm very happy for you. I keep thinking about the Thrive book but you wouldn't believe what a ditherer I am (and cynical). I just can't really believe that Thrive will work for me. Did it take a lot of time and hard work? Are you completely 'normal' now?

    Hello, Claire!
    This is amazing! Congratulations!
    I have this phobia since age 10 or 9, but nothing changed. I really thought about buying the book, but I live in Slovakia and I speak hungarian and I fear it won't work because I can' understand everything in the book. What do you think, can it work for me?

    I am working through the programme now and it is amazing how quickly it starts to have an effect. I am only on chapter 6, but I am already starting to notice the difference and have started to be able to work on the way I think about things. It is not just helping me with my phobia it has helped with other habits and unhelpful thinking. For example, unlike a lot of emetophobics I DO like a drink. I am a red wine and vodka (not together) fan. I had been thinking that I was drinking a little more and a little more often than I should. I wanted to cut back because of health and weight issues. After reading the first four chapters and doing all the thinking and exercises, I found I had control and I now pick and choose whether and when to drink and it feels REALLY good.
    AND even though my phobia is not yet cured - I am not yet half way through the book - not that I have finished chapter 5 I actually believe I WILL be cured. I have not believed that at ANY time in my life until now. I am 53 and have been phobic as long as I can remember!

    Are you working through Thrive? I am finishing up my last session with a therapist in London. Love the book..completely changed my outlook on several aspects of my life. Like you, I did not have all the "typical characteristics" of a emet. I too don't avoid drinks, etc. GOOD LUCK.
