I agree with kspappas. It's a very difficult phobia and can involve so many aspects of your life, like eating and drinking out, flying, driving, going on boats, etc. I would definitely find a new therapist, and yes, medication can be a lifesaver!! I'm 48 and have had this phobia since 10 years old. It does tend to was and wane, depending on your stressors. I had a very stressful summer and yes, my digestion is off now, so working on that. Anxiety is horrible and can cause sooo many physical symptoms. But hang in there, you will get much help on here because we all understand. Hugs.
