Why I wrote this book.
What is Emetophobia? Simply put, it is a fear of vomiting, which sounds awful and I know..."no-one likes being sick". Only this isn't about just being sick. The phobia encompasses most aspects of a sufferers life and causes many to have other phobias, OCDs, or even to self-harm or harbour thoughts of suicide.
Sound extreme?
It is. Emetophobia is not something to be laughed at or ridiculed and all sufferers require sympathy and understanding, especially during panic attacks, which may be frequent.
I wrote this book because I've had emetophobia myself since I was little and figured that after thirty years, I had a good knowledge to write about it, especially since there weren't any other books out there on the subject. There are hundreds of thousands of sufferers of emetophobia, most of them suffering in silence.
This book aims to change that. Buy it. Read it. Understand it. Then the next time someone tells you they have emetophobia, you can tell them you understand...
