I am currently a senior in high school who has suffered from this awful phobia since I was 8 years old. I have been on SSRIS for about 8 years, and have realized that I am emotioanlly numb when I am on them, and lose the drive to do anything. So, my thereapist and I have decided to do a gradual exposure threpy cumulating in inducing vomiting. I was actually the one to tell him that I would induce vomiting to cure this! Originally, I suggested just inducing vomiting without the gradual buildup, and he said that this could possibly do more harm than good. So, I'm gonna do a gradual thing. My question is: has anyone tried this gradual exposure therepy cumulating in inducing vomiting, and has it worked? I know that a lot of people have just vomited out of the blue to bring about a cure with no success, but has anyine tried this gradual exposure? Thanks a bunch
