I’m finally seeking treatment!

[peachykeen]

The whole incident of my hubby being sick over Christmas really
pushed me to the edge. I've been in a dead panic since, I've hardly
slept or eaten, I've just been a bleaching, cleaning machine. And I still
don't feel safe. So I bit the bullet this morning and got the ball rolling
on finding a psycho-therapist who can help me. They've got my
insurance info and are going to call me back in 24-48 hours to set me
up an appointment. I'm really excited about getting some help with
this. My husband and kids deserve much more from me than I'm able
to give them, and I'm hoping I can eventually become the person I so
desprately want to be instead of the person I am. Please wish me luck
in this journey, and I'll keep you all posted on how things progress.

I got my first session set up - it's on Jan 11, two weeks from today. I
feel good, like I'm really taking steps to heal myself. I'll let you know
how it goes. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

Hey peachy....I am so excited for you. Please let me know how it goes and if this person is good, I will call too and go. Maybe if he/she gets us both, he/she can better understand this. How did you find someone?

Thanks all - I'm really excited about starting this process!

Gubba, I got a list of psychiatrists and psychotherapists from my
insurance company, to see how would take take my insurance. I went
from there, looking them up online, looking at their credentials, and was
very specific in what I was looking for when I called different places.
This woman is certified in behaviorial therapy, hypnotherapy, and
specializes in phobias and anxiety. She supposedly has had luck in
treating several emets in the past, so at least she knows about this and
has ideas on how to treat it. I hope I really click with her and it just
sort of gels, kwim? I really feel empowered, just knowing that I'm
taking steps to get better. I feel sort of stronger, and like I can actually
overcome this - it's a wonderful feeling!

Hey all the best peachy!


You may want to print out the sticky post "INFO..." on this Treatments thread. Although if she's treated emets before, she may know all that. But then again, maybe not.


Good luck with all your treatment.


As for the other posters, I know I'm not here much anymore, but for the newbies, there IS treatment available...I'm living proof, and as well I've researched and spoken to several other therapists who have successfully treated emetophobes. Also spoken to several emets who have been treated.


It's a more common disorder than they think, not many therapists have the info about it, but still it is absolutely treatable.


Good luck everyone.
