Any advice for an emetophobia sufferer?

[Fightingback]

While people laugh at emetophobia, the fear of someone been sick/vomiting, it is a major problem for many people. Just the idea of somebody being sick/vomiting let alone actually viewing the act itself can send sufferers into meltdown and awful panic attacks. There have been cases where individuals have needed to call medical assistance such was their huge reaction to this.

Has anyone out there suffered from emetophobia? What kind of advice would you give for those who have experienced this potentially debilitating phobia?

I would presume there are a number of employment positions you would not be able to fill? My advice would be to stay away from jobs which may see you in the vicinity of individuals vomiting/being sick. Find a job you like, maybe even go self-employed and just go for it.

Thanks for your comments, it is always useful to know there are people out there sympathetic to this type of phobia. Unfortunately, that is not always the case!
