Grief Treatment

What is grief?

Grief is a perfectly normal and natural response to the loss of a loved one, a pet, a relationship or any other painful change in your life.

No two people experience a loss in the same way. It can depend on your personality, your view of the world as well as what this loss actually means to you. It can be relatively easy for some to adapt to this change but for others it feels impossible to move forward. They remain stuck and overwhelmed. Read more

Imposter Syndrome

It’s a funny thing, is imposter syndrome, though it doesn’t actually feel funny when you’re on the inside of it. What’s funny about it is that almost everybody has it to one degree or another… from the new mother who is sure that everybody else already knows what she’s frightened to ask in case her child gets taken away, to the high-flying CEO who believes that everybody will soon realise he’s just a big fat fraud if he doesn’t shout loudly or long enough about what great ideas he has.

Things You Need To Know About Emetophobia (Fear Of Vomiting) Fact 7

Emetophobia is one phobia that most sufferers do not discuss with others. People have no hesitation in talking about their fear of flying, spider phobia or fear of seagulls but emetophobes don’t feel comfortable talking about their fear of vomit.

Why is this?

Emetophobia is one phobia that most sufferers do not discuss with others. People have no hesitation in talking about their fear of flying, spider phobia or fear of seagulls but emetophobes don’t feel comfortable talking about their fear of vomit.

Why is this?

It’s mostly because people just don’t understand this fear. The response to an emetophobe is usually something along the lines of ‘Well, no-one likes vomit, do they?” It’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced this phobia just how serious and terrifying it can be and that it’s far more than just a ‘dislike’.

This leads sufferers of this this phobia to often not share what is happening for them as they feel ashamed of their behaviour. They are then often judged as very anxious over-the-top clean freaks who aren’t very sociable.

Things You Need To Know About Emetophobia (Fear of Vomiting) Fact 6

Emetophobia can be a very scary issue to have.

Let’s talk today about feeling nauseous. It’s feels never ending, doesn’t it?

I can’t recall ever having worked with an emetophobe who didn’t talk about their constant feeling of nausea and how terrifying it was for them. Any hint of an upset tummy can lead very quickly into a panic attack.

Emetophobia can be a very scary issue to have.

Let’s talk today about feeling nauseous. It’s feels never ending, doesn’t it?

I can’t recall ever having worked with an emetophobe who didn’t talk about their constant feeling of nausea and how terrifying it was for them. Any hint of an upset tummy can lead very quickly into a panic attack because they believe that the nausea means that they have some sort of a bug and potentially they could be sick very soon.

The reality is usually quite simple - they experience frequent nausea and digestive upsets because of the anxiety they are creating. This nausea then creates even more anxiety which then leads to further nausea and stomach discomfort which then leads to more anxiety which then leads to even more nausea and stomach discomfort… whew!!!

Not much fun, is it? Especially when you’re lying in bed, panicking because you can’t stop those wretched thoughts that seem to have taken over your head.
