OMG you were brave beyond words. I would not do this in a million years. After reading your post, not infifteen billionyears! This has convinced me more than ever that the best way to go is toAVOIDit asfar as poss... my emet only really bothers me if I (or someone close) actually start feeling ill.


However, I don't know if it will comfort you to know that the last time I NEARLY v*d with a stomach bug - I was actually retching - I didn't feel scared at all, just bored and fed up. I think the people who say the 'natural' version is much less scary must be right. I would agree with others here that your therapist made a big mistake. Sounds like you were practically poisoned! To me, this kind of confrontation is like saying, 'oh, you have a fear of having your kneecaps crushed with a baseball bat? Let's pound your kneecaps until you learn to enjoy it!'


I hope you are feeling better. Please let us know how you are.
