@childocdtherapist: Your child is worried about throwing up, and you support them. You rub their back. You whisper words of encouragement, and you get through it together. Over time, that comfort can unfortunately turn into dependency. Emetophobia can convince our kids that they need you to be there in case they feel sick. They need you right beside them when things get hard. As much as we all want to support our kids, when they start believing we are the only ones who can make them feel better, our support can unintentionally become part of the anxiety cycle. We want our kids to believe in themselves. We want them to develop the confidence and skills to ride the waves of emetophobia whether we’re right beside them or not. But that transition, from depending on you to believing in themselves, isn’t always easy. If you have a child with emetophobia and this sounds familiar, listen to my podcast episode: 🎙️ How to Help Kids When the Fear of Throwing Up Takes Over Listen at natashadaniels.com/psp474 #emetophobia #fearofthrowup #throwupfear #ocd #ocdproblems

Emetophobia and I are old friends. When I was 8 years old I threw up in the middle of the night. Because I removed my glasses before bed, it was obviously the cause, so I could no longer take my glasses off. Ever. Around 10 years old I got sick in bed again and decided that I could never sleep with the light off or I would obviously get sick. And so I didn’t. In fact it wasn’t until I was an adult that I ever did those things. The avoidance is desperate, irrational, silly. But in the moment it doesn’t feel silly, it feels important, necessary. Essential, even! Gosh the way it ruled my life. :/ it was so lonely.

If they can never be left alone how are they going to move out and live alone or when the parents aren’t around anymore, what are they going to do then? Serious question.

I dont know if this will help anyone but heres a few things I do to help my anxiety or when I feel unwell ( I dont fear It I just REALLY hate it so I avoid it bleghing ) Theres usually a distinct feeling you will get in your throat if your actually going to Blegh! As well as you usually wont ONLY feel nauseous theres other feelings/symptoms (This doesnt MEAN YOU WILL THO! Ive had times it doesn’t actually make me blegh) Atleest for me so when im feeling nauseous I remind myself of thoses facts and breathe taking my focus from how my stomach is feeling to my breathing It helps me ALOT and may help you BUT remember sometimes it may not work and if thats the case try to focus onto something else count on your fingers SLOWLY! Counting too fast can make it worse atleest for me since its less of a relaxing thing and more of a rapid speed counting that can make me nervous ! If those dont work try closing your eyes and laying down back, stomach, side doesn’t matter just lay down in the most comfortable position for you!maybe trying the breathing while doing that another thing I do is distraction with a favorite game or tv show maybe play cards if screens dont help ( I do get nauseous for the blue light sometimes) maybe put on your favorite songs! And honestly an important thing to remember is the last time you did Blegh and how you were feeling what the symptoms were when you did I know that it might make you anxious to do so but it can help because it can help you recognize if you actually going to or not ! ( although you still want the breathing or some exercise to calm you down because you can placebo effect the symptoms onto yourself but its just anxiety! ) Another thing is finding comfort in something else could help personally I find comfort in having a bowl or something to blegh in as a just in case so theres no clean up I also have an unhealthy attachment to my phone to the point im anxious if I don’t have it on me even if its dead only time is if Im using the bathroom or showering 😭 I don’t recommend that thats unhealthy try to find a healthy balance where you don’t rely on the comfort thing you choose but sometimes you may need it! I hope this helps someone!

Hey! I wanted to ask a question, how can you differentiate between hypochondriac and OCD? Because I feel so seen and related by your posts but I don’t have OCD
