Online Emetophobia Groups
Do you want to beat emetophobia but feel alone in your struggle? Would you like direct help from me but can’t afford private coaching? I have an exciting opportunity. Join one of my small emetophobia coaching groups.
Overcoming emetophobia will be much easier with my personal guidance and the support and empathy of others. You will no longer feel alone in your struggle as we conquer emetophobia together! The bonds you form with your fellow group members will be one of the most important part of your healing journey.
To participate in a coaching group, you must complete my pre-recorded course first. The focus of the group will be on helping you implement the tools and strategies you learned in the course.
We will discuss the most common emetophobia problems and how to deal with them, including issues pertaining to germs, food, physical symptoms, leaving the house, job, children, panic attacks, safety behaviors, obsessive thinking, medication as well as anything on your mind.
I will teach you what to do when you come in contact with someone who is sick. I will help you figure out the best exposures to do first and teach you how to do exposures correctly. I will help you prepare for upcoming events that scare you, like taking a flight, attending a wedding, or going to a new restaurant. We will discuss situations that did not go well and what you can do differently next time. And I will explain what to do if you get sick and how to prevent panicking.
The groups are small (about 8 people) and are 80 minutes long, which will give you plenty of opportunities to share your troubles and receive the help you need. To keep you moving forward each participant will be setting weekly goals and doing weekly homework.
I form groups based on age and your stage of life. Two of the most common groups are for young adults between the ages of 19 and 26 and emetophobic parents with young children. Sometimes groups center around a specific issue like OCD, social anxiety, and panic.
These coaching groups are not a substitute for private therapy or medication. Many with emetophobia require one-on-one therapy and/or medication to make a full recovery.
The cost of a ten-session coaching group is $600 with an option to continue for an additional ten weeks with the same group.
If you would like to join a group, please complete the application below. The day and time of each group will be determined based on when most people are available, which you will indicate on your application. The more flexible your schedule, the easier it will be to fit you into a group.
