1 - Reading of a medical book on the fear of vomiting will give you an understanding on how beneficial to the body actually vomiting really is. This can help you in overcoming the fear of vomiting by easing your anxiety when you realize vomiting does not harm the body in most cases. A good example medical book to read would be the long winded titled book: Vomiting: Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, Emetophobia, Mr. Creosote, Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting, Hematemesis, Emetophilia - [paperback]
If the above medical book is too scientific and/or is too graphic in nature for you then I would recommend: Living With Emetophobia: Coping With Extreme Fear Of Vomiting by Nicolette Heaton-Harris and Linda Dean - [paperback]. This book is written by a lifelong emetophobe and gives help and advice on dealing with emetophobia from an actual sufferers point of view. Both books can be picked up online at Amazon or a Barnes & Noble store.
2 - A more proactive way to overcome your fear of vomiting is to use self-hypnosis. Now this will mean that you have to confront your fears by concentrating your thoughts on someone else being sick and yourself. The best option to try this would be in a darkened room and if it helps you to relax play some soothing favorite music that is put on low in the background. You need to close your eyes and relax as much as possible, then you should visualize someone vomiting in your mind. Try and keep calm through the visualization process. Once you have gained control of visualizing another person vomiting, it is time to train your hypnosis thoughts on yourself actually vomiting in your minds eye. This will probably take longer to master with it being yourself in the visualization technique. As long as you stay relaxed and keep practicing, it will become easier over time. Your anxiety will then begin to fade away with ongoing practice.
3 - Online forums and support groups are a good way to make contact with others who suffer from emetophobia. You can post details about what you are going through plus read others stories on how they deal with this illness. They can relate to what you are going through on a daily basis in battling your vomit phobia.
Keep in mind that your vomit phobia is a treatable condition and you do not have to keep this illness to yourself. Hopefully the above tips will give you some help in overcoming your fear of vomiting.
