This book has a chapter on Specific phobias of vomiting as part of general book on overcoming health anxiety.

Many of us have a tendency to worry unnecessarily about our health. For some the anxiety becomes severe, and they may spend many hours checking for symptoms, seeking reassurance from others, surfing the internet for information about different diseases, or repeatedly visiting their doctor. It is distressing for them and for everyone around them. In fact, health anxiety can be successfully treated with cognitive behaviour therapy – the approach taken in this self-help guide. Using a structured, step-by-step approach we explain how the problem develops, how to recognise what feeds it and how to develop effective methods of dealing with it. Accessible and reassuring Includes questionnaires, case studies and exercises. Also includes a chapter for fear of death.

Emetophobia, the extreme fear of vomiting, can affect just about every aspect of sufferer’s life, from everyday considerations (‘what food will be “safe” for me to eat?’) to matters that involve making huge, potentially devastating decisions (‘I can’t have this baby, I can’t face morning sickness’). Nicolette Heaton-Harris has first-hand experience of the phobia and its effects. She suggests strategies for coping with the high levels of anxiety that are intrinsic to the phobia, as well as pre-empting and avoiding anxiety attacks. The experiences of fellow sufferers of all ages, male and female, are shared throughout the book and a list of useful organisations providing further information and support services is also included. “Living with Emetophobia” is a must-have for anyone suffering from emetophobia, anyone living with an emetophobic as well as professionals treating or supporting people with emetophobia.
