Do you know of anyone doing research on vomiting?
Any gastroenterologists, psychologists, other scientists, ....?

Before I go to bed I need to share a huge win.

I have OCD, Emetophobia & a history of Eating Disorder.

These haven't always been at the same level - it all depends on where I am mentally as a whole.

For years I haven't been able to eat chicken.

I have eaten chicken twice this month. Go me 😊

Emetophobia be damned, I'm the responsible adult today!

🎉🎉🎉

Bia and the Center for Anxiety and Behavior Therapy have partnered in the mission to make #emetophobia recovery accessible to all.

We are former emetophobics, therapists, and researchers working together to raise awareness, advance research, and make treatment easier and more affordable.

With Bia, your child will learn about emetophobia, why we have it, and techniques for overcoming it through a fun and engaging video-game like experience. As a parent, you will have access to progress reports, resources, and lessons on how to aide your child's recovery.

Here's some awesome community highlights!

The Bia recovery community is focused entirely on sharing and celebrating emetophobia recovery. This week, we have users starting their journey, conquering milestones, and continuing their practice streak.

Let's make 2025 the year of phobia recovery!

The cycle of nausea and anxiety can be extremely powerful in emetophobia - but it can be broken.

For 13 years I avoided wearing a shirt because I associated it with nausea. I kept it because I hoped one day I could put it back on. Eventually I did.
