Emetophobia

What is it and how hypnotherapy can help

Emetophobia, or fear of vomiting, is a poorly understood anxiety disorder predominantly affecting women, but it has not been well researched so far. For quite some time, it was even seen as an eating disorder rather than a phobia.
The impact Emetophobia has on a client’s life, on the other hand, often is huge as it can cause intense anxiety and panic attacks and can impact various areas of a client’s life. In most cases, Emetophobia is treated with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or exposure therapy.

In this talk, Ruth will give you an overview of what Emetophobia is and what it isn’t. She will also outline the possibilities of treating a client suffering from Emetophobia with hypnosis.

She will give you some insight into where, when, and how hypnosis can be used, and how many sessions it might take to help a client. I will bring along some real cases from my office and share some dos and don’ts with you.

My name is Ruth Roethlisberger and I am practicing hypnosis in my own office in Switzerland since 2016. I am specialised in working with kids and teens and am mostly working with fears and phobias as well as ADHD related topics. I am an OMNI Trained Hypnotherapist as well as a Visualization Coach and ADHD Coach. One of my favourite methods is the Active Alert Hypnosis.
