What Causes My Fear Of Being Sick
This phobia is almost invariably the result of one or more childhood incidents of being sick and terrified of it, or of being terrified of someone else being sick. In other words it is a conditioned response.
How Are You Going To Treat My Phobia
Many therapists will treat this by taking you back through time to the moment when you initially felt scared, helping you to feel comfortable with the memory with the idea that this process will get rid of the fear in the present. And this approach sometimes does work.
It Does Not Matter How The Phobia Of Being Sick Began
However, it certainly doesn't work for all. Just knowing how you became phobic doesn't necessarily mean that you suddenly get better, because, after all, we are dealing with a conditioned response.
The fields of hypnotherapy and NLP provide a vast fund of techniques that can get rid of a fear of being sick. One of the most commonly used is the NLP Fast Phobia Cure though we tailor our approach to what works best for you.
Common Triggers For Vomit Phobia
- Seeing someone being sick or being sick oneself (obviously)
