I just want to share that the turning point in my healing process was when I realized that my fear was really a fear of being powerless in ALL situations, not just vomiting. But vomiting, in my mind, was the ultimate loss of power because I couldn't control IF it happened, WHEN it happened, WHERE it happened, how MANY TIMES it happened, WHO was around when it happened, WHY it happened, and so on. So emetophobia is really a fear of feeling powerless and I bet if you're honest with yourself and analyze your life, you too will find that you don't just have a fear of vomiting and are perfectly fine otherwise, but that you have a fear of feeling powerless in every - or some - other area(s) of your life. And THAT is the real problem. What needs to be worked on is not finding a way to never vomit but to accept losing total control and being okay with that because control is an illusion anyway.
Hope this helps someone.
