  • Can Hypnotherapy Cure Emetophobia?

    Can Hypnotherapy Cure Emetophobia?

    [ad_1]

    Emetophobia is a learnt behavioral response and for many people it can be a very debilitating condition. Unfortunately it’s a condition that is often misunderstood by a large number of people, including many medical professionals.

    Emetophobia has elements of being both a phobia and an anxiety disorder. For many sufferers it’s something that they developed at a young again often in early childhood. It can develop from being sick themselves or from seeing someone else being sick, which understandably for a young child can be a very frightening experience.

    The fear can also develop from the reaction of other people around them. I have had a large number of clients that developed the fear not because how they reacted to being sick but because of how a close family member panicked in response to someone being sick.

    When we talk about curing Emetophobia what we are really talking about is overcoming the fear by changing how people perceive the situation. Many people would say that when the fear has gone they feel cured. In many cases hypnosis can be a very effective tool that enables people to overcome the fear of vomit.

    While it is true that some people can overcome the fear of being sick just from hypnotherapy treatment alone in some cases however the hypnotherapy is not enough by itself. For those people they will need to deliberately get used to doings things differently based on what the therapist tells them they need to do to achieve freedom from the fear.

    In the same way that if you go to a osteopath with a problem they may be able to correct the problem purely with what they do while you are on their treatment couch however in some cases that may not be enough by itself and in addition they will give you some form of therapeutic stretching or exercises to do.

    If you are an Emetophobic or a relative / friend of an Emetophobic the first important thing you need to know is that in the majority of cases with the appropriate treatment / therapy the fear can be either significantly reduced or in many cases completely overcome.

    The second thing you need to know is that while some people can overcome the fear relatively quickly for others it can take longer so you may need to be patient. No one therapy works for everyone in every situation. If the therapy / treatment you’re currently using isn’t working for you (you should be experiencing at least some improvement within a couple of appointments) then you may need to consider an alternative therapy route.

    Being cured doesn’t mean you have to like being sick or the find the sound / smell pleasant. Being sick can be very unpleasant but it is normal to find the smell, sound and idea of it disgusting. No one likes being sick but that doesn’t mean you have to be afraid of it. Being cured means getting the response back to a normal and appropriate perspective, just like anyone else that has a normal response to being sick or vomiting. So you can be free from the fear.

    Hypnotherapy has already helped many people to overcome fear of vomiting. You can overcome Emetophobia.

  • A Healthy Dose of Medicine for the Soul

    [ad_1]

    A large segment of the human population takes things way too seriously for their own good. The strange anomaly is that most people laugh at the wrong thing and fail to laugh at the right thing. This serious incongruity has robbed people of a healthy attitude towards life in general.

    Those who take life too seriously are in danger of missing the great joys of living in a crazy world like ours. I am not sure about the scientific research but I would guess that for every sad moment it takes one hundred laughs to balance the books. Some people are about ninety-nine laughs short of a real sane moment.

    I like the old English proverb that says, “Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.”

    From my perspective, if you cannot laugh with someone you will not be able to cry with him or her and have it mean anything.

    According to some medical advice, it takes more facial muscles and energy to frown than it does to smile. Of course, the only exercise some people have is frowning and who am I to take that away from them.

    I am determined, no matter what, to exercise my right to smile and laugh and enjoy the world around me. I must confess that I get this attitude quite honestly.

    My paternal grandfather was a Past Master in the area of practical jokes. No amount of time was too much to spend preparing for one of his famous practical jokes. His favorite holiday was April 1 and began preparing for this holiday right after Christmas.

    The fact that his practical jokes at times got him into trouble did not seem to affect him at all.

    Once while in the hospital for an extended period he had somebody smuggle in to him a can of snuff. For some reason he liked chewing snuff. It is the most disgusting habit I know of on earth.

    He no sooner received his smuggled goods then he began chewing it. If you know anything about chewing snuff, you know it is accompanied by a lot of spitting. As usual, his timing was impeccable. Just as the head nurse passed his door and looked in, he leaned over and spit in to the garbage can he had next to his bed. The nurse, not knowing about the chewing snuff, thought he was spitting blood and immediately went into emergency mode. Immediately my grandfather was rushed into the operating room and the surgeon and medical team were assembled.

    My grandfather was very sick at the time. Some did not think he would get out of the hospital.

    Just as they got him situated in the operating room he pulled from under his sheet his can of chewing snuff and smiled at them. The only person in the room that thought this was in any way amusing was my grandfather. The doctors were so angry with him that they refused to see him for three days and confiscated his can of chewing snuff.

    My aunt and uncle lived right next to my grandfather. My aunt was hyper clean when it came to her house. Dirt in any form was not welcome under her roof. She had a broom that was always within reach because she never knew when a piece of dirt would try to invade her domicile.

    That year my grandfather found something new. I am not sure where he found it but he probably spent a lot of time looking for something like this. It was a rubber facsimile of a very nasty looking piece of vomit. To him it was a prized possession.

    Most of his practical jokes were executed on April 1. Whenever we saw grandfather coming on this particular day we usually ran for cover.

    He went over to visit my aunt and was sitting on the couch in the living room. They chatted for a little while and then my grandfather began to cough a little bit. He said to my aunt, “I haven’t been feeling good lately. I really don’t know what it is.” Then he started to cough a little more seriously, to which, my aunt got up and went to the kitchen to get him a glass of water thinking that might help him.

    When she got back, she was shocked to see on her new coffee table a very horrible sight. My grandfather was bent over the coffee table hacking and coughing as though he was in the process of dying. On the coffee table was a very nasty looking piece of vomit.

    My aunt went into hysterics. She whirled around and within a moment had grabbed her broom and started towards my grandfather. My grandfather was laughing but not for long.

    Suddenly he realized that the flailing broom in my aunt’s hand was aimed at him. She chased him out of the house, down the driveway and for at least three blocks yelling obscenities at him that I dare not repeat in public society.

    Laughter is the fresh air of the soul. Even the Bible thinks so.

    “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken” (Proverbs 15:13). And, my favorite, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).

    I recommend a healthy dose of medicine for your soul.
