Riccardo overcomes emetophobia and gains new confidence

Before I met Paul I was in a bad place, I wouldn’t leave my house or do anything because I lacked confidence and also because of my emetophobia.

The CBT programme has made me realise how to control my thoughts and made me realise how I was the one creating the fear, not only has it helped me overcome my fear but also its changed me as a person.

J solves her emetophobia and starts her own business

I first came to see Paul in October 2012 with my Fiancé about my ’emetophobia’, as at the time I felt the whole process was too delicate to deal with alone.

I was so down about my ‘emetophobia’ that coming to see Paul was my last resort, after having a course of unsuccessful CBT on the NHS. After this had failed, I really didn’t see a way of me getting better.

Fear of being sick man overcomes emetophobia after years of suffering

I had suffered from ’emetophobia’ and anxiety since I can remember (I’m 26 now) and at the start of 2014 I decided to do something about it.

After looking online for help I came across the Thrive Programme and did some research into it (I was sceptical after going through psychotherapy, CBT and Analytical Therapy and not really improving) and I found Paul’s site.
