Coach Chloe joins Michelle Johnson on this week's episode to discuss her tumultuous journey through the programme with her daughter Ava who was suffering with Emetophobia. Despite supporting Ava as best she could through the programme, Chloe was struggling to see the progress in Ava. It was only once Chloe turned the spotlight inwards did she discover the barriers that were preventing herself and therefore Ava from thriving and overcoming Ava's phobia. Ava was 11 when she finally began the Emetophobia-free programme. Sadly her motivation, engagement and belief in the programme had been impacted by her previous therapies such as exposure therapy, which had increased her fear about anything working for her. She has created and maintained the belief that she was the 1 person this wouldn’t work for. Despite Chloe believing she was coping well at the time of supporting Ava through the programme ,she now recognises that her personal attitude was not ‘thriving’, which was having a direct impact on Ava’s progress (little to her knowledge at the time!). Once Chloe recognised her own lack of self-belief, she understood that despite being 100% committed to Ava’s learning, she was completely neglecting her own thoughts, coping skills, and attitude. Because of this, Ava was struggling to see the benefits. Chloe was encouraging her daughter, whilst being completely catastrophic inside.Chloe was putting in maximum effort to encourage Ava to partake in school trips, plays and school activities despite the Emetophobia holding her back. Despite this being successful in some areas, Chloe wasn’t able to process these wins in positive way which was preventing Ava from doing the sameThe second Chloe began to Thrive herself, there was a complete breakthrough for both herself and Ava!Chloe now recognises her own worth, prioritises her own needs and has found a whole new level of respect for herself and her daughter Ava is thriving and loving life Emetophobia-Free!Chloe’s top tips:Parents, address your own social anxiety! Recognise your hypervigilance! Recognise blips as a positive learning opportunity!Spot your catastrophic language!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.
