The fear of throwing up, Emetophobia, is actually one of the most common anxiety and OCD themes. People often think it is due to an experience, but in reality it is just another issue anxiety or OCD can glum onto.
If you have ruled out medical issues and you are dealing with a child who is terrified of throwing up – and feels sick all the time, welcome to the world of anxiety.
In this week’s episode of Ask the Child Therapist Kids Edition, I am talking to kids about when their anxiety makes them feel nauseous. I am also taking to kids whose anxiety has taken it one step further and has made them feel sick over the fear of feeling sick.
I talk about why anxiety does this to us and how to beat anxiety at its own cruel game!
