As seen on BBC News: Amazing young lady overcomes lifelong phobia!

Hannah, here telling her story through a number of video recordings, overcame her emetophobia using the Cure Your Emetophobia & Thrive book in just a few weeks. After her emetophobia had become all-consuming and rendered Hannah in limbo, she expressed her frustrations by posting a detailed blog online. After gathering some interest, this blog attracted the attention of two BBC reporters who asked Hannah to explain her emetophobia and be part of a BBC interview. Gladly accepting, she detailed her symptoms and the lack of expert help out there in an honest interview.

Rob Kelly, the author of the book and creator of the Thrive Programme, contacted Hannah and offered to guide her through the programme. Initially sceptical, Hannah struggled with the idea that a book could help her overcome her phobia but, with nothing to lose, she accepted.
Now, after completing the programme Hannah delights in telling us just how much more in control of her thoughts and emotions and that her ‘moments’ of pro-emetophobic thoughts are diminishing daily.
Now able to re-heat food, eat food that is slightly out of date and even eat street food, Hannah’s amazing transformation is perfectly summed up by her calm and effective response to her friend vomiting in front of Hannah during a night out ! Not only did Hannah manage herself and the incident extremely well, she also helped her friend during the sickness - something that she would never had dreamed of in the heights of her emetophobia.
Hannah also informs us that there are a host of situations and experiences that she would never have entered into only a few weeks ago that she engages with 100% without any anxiety at all.
A tremendous journey, highlighted by these insightful video-blogs, and as she states in her final video ‘I’m a lot more confident, I feel a lot better in myself and I can cope in situations that I would never have even myself into before’
A fantastic journey, brilliantly told, well done Hannah !

------------------------
Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.
You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it - just like all the people in these videos did - all the ex-emetophobes in this KZbin channel used the special Emetophobia version of The Thrive Programme to overcome their phobia. If you are emetophobic, or know someone who is, you can no doubt relate to many of the experiences people share in their testimonials. We hope this reassures you that you’re not alone, and that you do not need to live with this debilitating phobia forever.
The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.
You can study the programme at home by yourself with a workbook (currently being translated into a number of other languages, as well as a version for the Visually Impaired), a comprehensive online course, or be guided through with a specially-trained Thrive Programme Coach® (face to face or online). Whatever way you choose, the results are predictable, and give you the tools to overcome it, for good.
