How To Start Recovery From Emetophobia | Episode 6

How To Start Recovery From Emetophobia | Episode 6

“How do I actually start recovery?”

We’ve been getting this question constantly lately, so in this episode we sat down and talked honestly about what beginning recovery REALLY looked like for us.

Katie shares what it was like realizing she’s now weaning off therapy after a year of ERP work, while Ally talks about just beginning OCD therapy and feeling completely overwhelmed by how big recovery can seem at first.

We walk through:
• the OCD/emetophobia cycle
• triggers, feared stories, and safety behaviors
• reassurance seeking and mental compulsions
• why exposures aren’t usually the first step
• how delaying compulsions helped us
• the importance of values and finding your “why”
• acceptance, uncertainty, and willingness
• why recovery is uncomfortable… but worth it

We also get very real about parenting with emetophobia, health anxiety, avoiding discomfort, and the fear of vomiting itself.

And maybe most importantly:
The goal of recovery is not to stay safe.
The goal is learning that you don’t need to.

If you’re feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, we hope this episode helps you take your first step.
