I am so relieved to read the comments. I've had this phobia as long as I can remember, and I still struggle daily. The way they were talking to/about her you'd think she was purposefully ruining everyone's life. I feel so bad for her, and I truly hope that she's had some real professional support and maybe some more understanding from the people who obviously love her.
I guess this actually took a bit more time than an hour.. And the cause why someone got a certain phobia probably also makes the outcome of the therapy or treatment very different. I really hope you and your daughter get the help you need to live life to the best.
I’m sorry but as someone who has this phobia this video and these 2 people (the therapists or whatever they are) are absolutely ridiculous. This phobia will control every aspect of a persons life and 2 random clueless people aren’t going to solve it in an hour 🙄 especially if CBT/exposure didn’t work. This made me so mad that I had to shut it off halfway through. If this wasn’t just for show and the girl truly has this phobia I truly hope she’s found something that works and is feeling better, because I wouldn’t wish this on my worse enemy. The 2 “therapists” should feel terrible for this.
Hi there! I have almost beaten my phobia… and PLEASE believe me you can get over this… and please they the Emetophobia-free program (the thrive program) good luck you can do this ❤❤
I’ve had emetophobia since I was in fourth grade, and I’m 39. I work in mental health and have educated on this phobia. It is highly misunderstood. I have to have Tums, Gas-X, Zofran, Ativan, and gum with me at all times. My biggest fear with it is getting sick away from home/in front of others. I’ve had severe periods of not eating because of it. I’ve done treatment many times. It’s gotten better but never gone. I got pregnant despite my fear of it and now have a toddler. I have had to deal with her sickness but I get anxious about catching it.
I hope you’re doing okay. Same, but thing is l do throw up violently for days on end every 4 months or so/holidays of course. I find amitriptyline to be extremely helpful with my appetite and astonishing weight consistency despite up to a week of zero food and fluids at hospital. It’s a nightmare and pray no one else has to ever go through it. It’s a legit phobia of mind regardless of “why”. Costly nutrients through a specialist is my next route now that l have a little money, thought that would help. Nope😂. Be well and good luck.
I used to suffer from this. I'd thrown up twice my entire life and had this idea that it was a massive deal that I wouldn't be able to handle, other people could but I for some reason couldn't. Then had a bad case of norovirus which was absolute misery, and reinforced that conviction. The cure for me was food poisoning and I puked for like 24 hours and it wasn't fun but truly it wasn't anywhere near as big of a deal as I'd made it out to be.
For me, it's the opposite. I suffered from reoccurring bouts of norovirus, giardiasis, and general motion sickness as a kid and it scarred me for life 😒
I couldn't even finish watching this. I don't agree at all with how Becky and her family were being made to feel. There was so much blame, so many statements, so many accusations and pointing fingers. It's not about who did what, it's about where she is now and how she can be built up and supported to make positive steps towards healing. I have emetophobia myself, certainly nowhere near as intense, but I understand some of these experiences. If I'd been told that what lead to this was a series of choices I'd deliberately made, I'd be devastated. Becky deserves better, and this made me upset.
You are right. This “therapy” was verbal abuse. Toxic and injurious. I am hoping that it was simply an act, and that everyone - including Becky - was in on the farce. Quite disgusting, and one commenter said she “enjoyed” it. Beyond belief.
I’m recovering this this phobia! I vomited for this first time in 17 years, from wine, in January and it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up in my mind. Thankfully I was in an environment where I felt safe and in control. I knew the cause (I had too much wine and not enough food), and I was able to be alone in a cold, clean, bathroom (which is what I wanted). Before that I couldn’t even talk about how long it had been since I had thrown up in the past because I was afraid I was going to bring it about. In high school I developed an eating disorder because I was only allowing myself to eat ‘safe’ foods, I didn’t eat at buffets, in winter I barely left my house because that’s when stomach viruses are the worst. I never shared food or drinks with anyone and I obsessively washed and sanitized my hands. If someone vomited near me I would have a panic attack and run away. I avoided situations where it was likely to happen - amusement parks etc. Now I feel so much better. The fear is still there a little bit, but nothing that isn’t manageable by treating my general anxiety with medication.
What did you do to help get over it? I had gotten really sick and hospitalized because of how sick I had gotten and it has traumatized me and now when I even think about the feeling of being sick or puking I have a panic attack.
Confrontational and harsh. Also meant for film, and that speaks for itself. I hope with all my heart that this “cure” works and lasts for all of Becky’s life. She has suffered terribly. And I hope that, when she has time to reflect, she does not recall the harsh things said to her about the “choice” she made at age 3 (no-one can make abstract choices at age 3) and about her character traits. She was so ready to agree (with all the dreadful things said to her about herself) that the film became simply unbelievable. Most adults would be at least a little defensive. There is a book by Scott Stossel, *My Age of Anxiety*. He suffered from fears similar to Becky’s : that he might throw up in public, and many other anxieties. I don’t know whether Mr Stossel’s book will be helpful, but it is worth a try for any of us who may have similar problems.
I have a big fear of getting sick since my best friend put something in my food and I almost died , it took me two years to recover, nobody believed that I will recover but it was deemed a miraculous recovery. The problem is that I've suffered so much and for so long until I've fully recovered that now I am very scared of getting sick, is one of my biggest nightmares. But fortunately it doesn't keep me away from my social life , is a fear that I can manage. So sorry that this beautiful lady in the video had to go through so much! ❤️
@@lalitstar2371 yes , she was the perfect "psycho", I had no idea bcs at that time I didn't notice any red flag, a girl looking angelic, very polite, friendly, shy, funny. We were all students, she didn't have a great financial situation, she was struggling and me and my family decided to help her with everything that she needed without expecting anything in return, absolutely nothing. We gave her clothes, shoes, money, helped her with her studies, whenever she couldn't find rent she was allowed to stay in our rented house for free, whenever we were going out with our friends we always payed for her food, drinks, Cinema tickets , took her in trips with my family for free, we considered her our sister. That's why for me what she did was heartbreaking. But it was my mistake that I didn't know to read the red flags, she had an evil intelligence and made us feel this need to protect her bcs she seemed so frail and delicate. I will write a book abt it, maybe it will help people observe the red flags earlier. I definitely didn't see it coming, it was the shock of my life. We also found that her parents were giving her money but she was pretending that she was broke all the time so she could take advantage of the situation.
I understand the fear of being sick. About three years ago I had COVID. It was horrible. On the seventh day I had a panic attack. I think that’s where my fear stems. I am still horrified to this day. I had my second round a few months ago. Yet, I am still terrified. 😢
i have emetephobia, and it affects me daily.i get anxiety nausea and i’d convince myself i’d be sick even tho it’s just anxiety from it. i’d constantly sanitise, afraid to go to events, avoid places i’d been sick at/clothes i’ve been sick on, i don’t eat at new places. i am terrified to go to school everyday just in case there’s a stomach bug going around, which there rarely is. if someone is sick in the toilet i will not use the toilet for maybe even days. Update: It just happened.
I feel you, I experience exactly the same and I started to stop eating like I used to because I feel like if I eat to much I would throw up, I’m now underweight and close to anorexia.. it’s really hard, I wish you the best and hope one day someone will find a cure, people don’t realise how struggling this is, at this point I call it a disease.
@@kittycheshire4155 For real, like even when I say to people that it’s my biggest fear and my phobia, they go like “oh yeah you just don’t like it, everyone is a bit scared of it” but like, I would rather idk like faint and I could do pretty much anything if I can avoid being sick. Like when I see soemone vomiting or even when I only have a bellyache I start panicking, crying, panic attack, like it’s so fkd up-
Severe debilitating emetophobia and driving in a car with others after 20 plus years of it. Impossible after just talking?. If this was possible all of us emetophobes would be cured. I been doin this 30 years and there is no way
I have severe panic attacks that lasted in waves 24/7 & I didn't want to live anymore. Then a psychiatrist prescribed me medication for it & changed my life.
I agree the mother is enabling Becky. I cried when Becky got on the horse and rode it around. (Cause I love horses. I had a few horses when I was a kid). I cried even more when Becky turned around and seen her boyfriend standing there.
i can not vomit even if i have a terrible stomach bug ever since i was bout 8 years old if i have a stomach bug it lasts for about a week or so instead of a few days because i can not vomit the bug out
Eu tenho um tipo de medo de doença que não chega ser fobia. Mas quando acho que estou doente e tenho que fazer algum exame de imagem eu sempre entro em pânico, achando que vai aparecer alguma coisa nas imagens. Um cisto, sabe esse tipo de coisa. Fico apavorada e paralisada e nem terapia resolve. Estava melhorando com conversas com o meu antigo psiquiatra que infelizmente faleceu. Pelo menos já faz vários meses que não tenho nenhuma crise 🙏🙏

This is so unrealistic. My daughter has emetophobia since she was eight. There's no way that an hour conversation would totally eliminate her phobia.
Completely agree. And am dreadfully sorry that she is going through this. I wish you and her well.
I guess this actually took a bit more time than an hour.. And the cause why someone got a certain phobia probably also makes the outcome of the therapy or treatment very different.

It wouldn’t. I’ve had it since the same age, and I’m 39. My phobia has never gone a way but I manage better. I have regressions like everyone does.
THANK YOU
You do realize the show was about an hour, but the therapy took much longer than that, right??
I've had it for 40 years, It was depressing and terrifying. It doesn't disrupt my life much anymore, but today I'm just thinking about it...

Also an interesting thing that I’ve noticed that a lot of people with this phobia live in the UK.

I know a teenager who has this disorder. It reminds me of my OCD which is germs/contamination. I feel her pain. It's robbing her of her full life.
This is ridiculous, I wish it was this simple to treat it
this phobia is exhausting and never really takes about.

Do u mind writing what was put in your food?
Best friend? Was it on purpose?

Wow her stomach looks scarred
I agree the mother is enabling Becky. I cried when Becky got on the horse and rode it around. (Cause I love horses. I had a few horses when I was a kid). I cried even more when Becky turned around and seen her boyfriend standing there.
Your perception is your reality!
Oh wow I pray she gets well
How inspirational!! I really enjoyed this episode. Congratulations you brave and lovely lady!!! I love horses also 💜🌈
Hello... how’re you doing
Your mom loves you equally don't put your mom in between y'all fights and who loved who more that's not cool
I have this plus fear of germs from OCD since I was a kid and now I'm 23 and still have it
This video made me cry at the end. 💜
Im from Canada and i do have the same fear ☹️
i can not vomit even if i have a terrible stomach bug ever since i was bout 8 years old if i have a stomach bug it lasts for about a week or so instead of a few days because i can not vomit the bug out
Teach me the ways please
I would also like to know how you do this
Hope she fared ok with covid
