THE “V” WORD: VOMIT

The fear of vomiting can take over your thoughts, limit your activities, and make everyday sensations feel threatening. Even thinking about getting sick can cause nausea or queasiness, making it difficult to know whether your body is actually becoming ill—or whether anxiety is creating the feeling.

During this group, you will learn practical Cognitive Behavioral skills to manage the uncertainty and discomfort surrounding vomiting. We will help you recognize the anxiety cycle, reduce avoidance and reassurance-seeking, tolerate uncomfortable sensations, and respond differently when your mind tells you that getting sick would be unbearable.

The goal is not to guarantee that you will never vomit again. It is to help you become more confident that whenever it happens, you will be able to handle it.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Anyone who experiences significant fear, anxiety, or avoidance related to vomiting, nausea, illness, or seeing someone else get sick. Interested children may attend with their parent.
