I am super supportive of all perspectives so maybe you misread my tone. I'm just cautious of religion.
As am I but I'm also cautious when airing my griefs of a certain topic on a post that is aimed at healing and supporting others. I just feel that it can be the same as a completely cured emetophobe giving credit to their therapist for curing them. Then because someone doesn't agree with the tactics the therapist used, they begin tearing the person who is healed down and possibly making her believe she isn't really cured or question her recovery. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in the therapist or his therapy; all that matters is that person is no longer engulfed in the hell that is emetophobia. Many drug addicts have been cured of their addiction after finding religion, so religion or a belief in something bigger than yourself can be helpful.

You're such a sweetheart MDGirl and I love reading your posts and you have awesome advice but I just think this could have been approached differently

I'm so happy for anybody who escapes this awful phobia and so thankful for the ones who come back to share how they did it, whether I believe in their views or not. Too many people are cured and then leave forever, leaving us to believe it's an incurable phobia. I think all of the cured emetophobes and their recovery stories on here are an important part of this site.
