Emetophobia And Hypnosis
Many people have emetophobia, yet this phobia is seldom mentioned or discussed
. This phobia is the fear of vomit. Sufferers who have serious emetophobia will go to any lengths necessary to avoid throwing up or seeing vomit. Although people with emetophobia typically cope by avoiding their fear, it can be eliminated with treatments such as Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Emetophobia is a very common fear with significant implications for its sufferers. Some people refuse to dine outside of their home or with other people out of fear of getting food poisoning. Expecting mothers with emetophobia are often scared of developing morning sickness. The fear also makes it challenging for parents to care for their infants or care for their young children if they get ill.
The phobia can impair an individual's ability or willingness to go on trips and vacations. A person might dread the thought of going to a foreign country and catching an illness. Many individuals will avoid public places because they are afraid of getting sick or even witnessing someone else who feels sick. The phobia also interferes with one's ability to hold jobs in certain fields, such as nursing and hospital work.
Emetophobia is often rooted in childhood incidents. Sufferers may recall the unpleasant experience of being ill and want to avoid it at all times. They may also fear getting ill because they associate it with a lack of physical control. This anxiety disorder affects men and women of all ages and backgrounds.
Emetophobia can grow into other anxiety disorders and phobias. Many people will develop agoraphobia, a fear of unknown places which can drive a person to become a "shut-in." People with emetophobia may also possess a strong fear of germs or hospitals. What starts as emetophobia can quickly grow into many serious issues stemming from the first phobia.
Some people try to deal with their fear by avoiding it whenever possible, but emetophobia can be successfully treated with techniques ranging from counseling to medication. However, there are a few challenges involved with treating emetophobia. Over time, the phobia becomes linked with vivid negative imagery in the unconscious. The fear is so deeply set that it can't be suppressed by conscious effort or willpower alone. People with emetophobia may realize that their fear is irrational, yet continue to feel helpless to do anything about their phobia.
Hypnosis therapy is an excellent tool for curing phobias because it can dissociate or disconnect a fear from negative associations in the unconscious mind. Hypnosis is an excellent type of safe and non-invasive therapy that provides a permanent phobia cure.
Hypnosis treatments are often in the form of a program broken down into several, easy-to-follow sessions. A well-designed program opens with relaxation therapy. This has a calming effect and helps make the mind more open to hypnotism. When a person feels calm and tension-free, hypnotherapy guides the unconscious mind into adopting a new, fear-free line of thinking.
Ericksonian hypnotherapy is ideal for independent minded thinkers, such as the many emetophobia sufferers who find it important to have control over their their health and fitness. It works using indirect suggestions embedded in stories, metaphors, and dialogues. It differs from traditional hypnotherapy techniques, which use direct post-hypnotic suggestions to treat individual phobias. These traditional techniques may fail because of people's tendency to question what they are told and resist direct suggestions. Using Ericksonian hypnotherapy, these problems can be avoided.
Since emetophobia often occurs other phobias such as social phobia and agoraphobia, it is necessary for a thorough treatment program to work for all these issues. Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques work more effectively than traditional hypnotherapy programs because they aren't phobia specific; they can be used to cure any phobia, or even numerous phobias. Additionally, the combined program will be effective for most users because it contains a wide range of techniques to work for anyone.
Phobia sufferers are usually pleasantly amazed at the ease with which they achieve results through hypnotherapy. It has allowed countless people rapidly overcome their phobias and it's a successful type of phobia treatment. The techniques within Ericksonian hypnosis and NLP are successful treatments for a variety of fears and anxiety disorders. Hypnosis treatments hold the answer for helping many people defeat their fears and feel comfortable and in charge.
