Mary has been a massive inspiration to so many Emetophobia sufferers and is a huge advocate for the programme. In her many years of suffering Mary tried many different types of treatment including being an inpatient at the Warlingham Park Psychiatric Hospital in the 1950’s where she received electric shock treatment. Mary attended the very first National Emetophobia Awareness Day 10 years ago in 2014.

We are thrilled that Mary was able to join us again to conclude our 10 day anniversary event!
In this fabulously informative and uplifting podcast episode, Mary explains that she fell through a glass panel last week and her head is glued together so that she is currently finding it difficult to wash her hair. Mary also tells us that after a bad fall last year in February she broke 6 of her ribs and the doctors found a growth on her lungs that they couldn’t remove as it is almost touching her heart. She is currently living with (and thriving through!) cancer.
Mary explains that she now refers to herself as ‘Wombat’ which stands for 'Wiley Old Mary Alive And Thriving'. She explains that the programme has taught her not only how to cure herself of Emetophobia but how to effectively manage all the adversity that life brings.
Despite her cancer diagnosis Mary is already planning her 100th birthday. “I’m going to live til I’m 100 at least and I’m going to have a smash up party’.
We can't thank Mary enough for once again for giving us her time and sharing her incredible story.

------------------------
Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.
You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it - just like all the people in these videos did - all the ex-emetophobes in this YouTube channel used the special Emetophobia version of The Thrive Programme to overcome their phobia. If you are emetophobic, or know someone who is, you can no doubt relate to many of the experiences people share in their testimonials. We hope this reassures you that you’re not alone, and that you do not need to live with this debilitating phobia forever.
The Thrive Programme for Emetophobia (also known as Cure your Emetophobia and Thrive) is the single most successful and predictable method for getting rid of your emetophobia. It has helped over 20,000 emetophobes around the world overcome their phobia.
You can study the programme at home by yourself with a workbook (currently being translated into a number of other languages, as well as a version for the Visually Impaired), a comprehensive online course, or be guided through with a specially-trained Thrive Programme Coach® (face to face or online). Whatever way you choose, the results are predictable, and give you the tools to overcome it, for good.
