The lovely Loretta talks openly and honestly about her journey through The Thrive Programme which she embarked upon to help her son overcome his fear of being sick/vomiting. Nine year old Sonny was struggling with Emetophobia and had lots of anxiety around being sick. Before the programme Sonny was struggling to eat certain foods, was scared to go to sleep without travel sickness bands, couldn’t sleep without his parents in the room, struggled to travel in the car and would constantly seek reassurance that he wasn't going to be sick. Loretta was desperate to find something that would help as she was at a loss with how to help him.After just 3 weeks of starting the programme, Loretta started to see improvements and now after only 11 weeks, Sonny is eating happily, doing all the things he used to love doing like going to the football with his Dad, sleeping in his own room (without sickness bands) and generally enjoying his life! He can now even watch the eating challenge on ‘I'm a Celebrity’ and is living his life without the constant fear and anxiety that he is going to be sick. He is Emetophobia-Free!Loretta speaks directly to any parents who are considering going through the programme and says ‘Just do The Thrive Programme!’. Loretta explains that even though the programme was centred around Sonny, she has learnt so many things herself. Not only does she now know how best to support Sonny as he grows and develops but also she now has the skills to create a great life for herself! In the past few weeks Loretta & Sonny have been abroad after many years of avoiding flying due to Loretta’s anxiety. The course has been completely life changing for the whole family and Loretta’s candid and honest account of their journey through is well worth a listen!Find out more: https://www.emetophobiafree.orghttps://linktr.ee/emetophobiaConnect with us at the links below:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emetophobiafree/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/emetophobiafree​TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCF6vCMhoF98TKKe7DKBlfgw Thanks for watching :)------------------------Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families. You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it. The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Emetophobia-Free) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.You can study the programme at home by yourself wit...
