Emetophobia

Some of you may be asking 'What is that?'
It is when someone has an irrational fear of vomiting, either themselves or seeing others being sick.

It can be so severe that people leave home if someone feels ill in the family. It can also lead to panic attacks, restricting the food you eat and OCD tendencies such as hand washing.

It can be overcome with a little help, hypnotherapy is very effective in regard to this and many other phobias.

Screen Time.
What do you use your screen time for?

News, Social Media, Gaming, Watching Videos, Catching up with family and friends, Learning, Banking, Shopping.

There are so many things you can now do, but consider how much time you do spend on it, is it all positive?

Doom scrolling, negative news, people making comments about others, people looking amazing, doing wonderful things, these can increase anxiety and decrease self-confidence.

Stop and think – you can remove/hide pages, delete apps, question whether it is a true image or story, there is a lot of fake out there.
Is there anything else you can do instead, take up a new hobby, read a book, spend real time with family and friends, go outside in nature.

You can limit the time you spend on your phone - put it on silent, turn off notifications, put it in a different room, don’t use it whilst at work or school, set a time limit.

Now, it isn’t all bad, I use mine while I am on an exercise bike to do puzzles, so the time passes quicker and I am keeping my brain active. It is great to research places you want to visit, learning a language, apps that help you to fall asleep or meditate, but I do keep away from the news and unfollow negative pages.

Start to notice how much time you spend on your screen and find other activities that make you feel more positive and/or relaxed. πŸ’œ

Now I know it is currently very hot but it will soon start cooling down for Autumn and that means that spiders may want to visit your home to keep warm.
They are harmless, just trying to stay warm and safe but if you have a phobia then this can be very traumatic for you.
If you would like help to overcome this phobia and any others then please contact me and we can arrange to have a telephone chat to discuss how I can help you to feel if not at ease then just not concerned about whatever was bothering you before.

Little steps to overcome fears, a gradual desensitisation, so you don’t become overwhelmed but still move forward πŸ’œ

Little steps to overcome fears, a gradual desensitisation, so you don’t become overwhelmed but still move forward πŸ’œ

It usually starts with something harmless. You avoid making a phone call because it feels uncomfortable. Then you avoid a social event because you're anxious. Later, you stop pursuing opportunities, difficult conversations, or new experiences because they feel overwhelming. What began as a way to protect yourself slowly becomes a habit that limits your life.

Psychology shows that avoidance often provides short-term relief but creates long-term stress. When we avoid something that scares us, the brain temporarily feels safer. The problem is that the brain also learns that the situation must be dangerous if it keeps being avoided. Over time, fear grows stronger while confidence grows weaker. The result is a cycle that can affect relationships, career growth, self-esteem, and mental wellness.

Many people believe confidence comes before action. Human behavior research suggests the opposite. Confidence is often the result of taking action despite discomfort. Every small step toward a feared situation teaches the brain a powerful lesson: "I can handle this." That lesson builds resilience, self-awareness, and emotional strength.

Personal growth rarely happens inside a comfort zone. The conversations you avoid, the risks you delay, and the opportunities you ignore may be the very experiences that help you become the person you want to be. The goal is not to eliminate fear. The goal is to stop letting fear make your decisions.
