They come up with theories. Maybe it was the time she saw her cousin throw up? Or maybe it was the time she got sick in the car? Or maybe it was the time she got food poisoning?\n\n\nBut in reality, the fear of throwing up (also known as Emetophobia) just happens.\n\n\nKids who are genetically prone to anxiety or OCD are at a higher risk of developing Emetophobia. Yes, it can be triggered by an external event, but the genetic seeds are usually just waiting to sprout. That event often only triggers what was already waiting in the wings.\n\n\nJust think about how many times people have seen others throw up or who have had bad experiences throwing up themselves. Most of those people don’t develop a severe fear of throw up.&nbsp;\n\n\nEmetophobia is just one of many ways anxiety and OCD can manifest.\n\n\nSo how do you help your child with Emetophobia? Often it is the opposite of what you would think.\n\n\nI invited Chrissie Hodges to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast to discuss her life long battle with Emetophobia. Chrissie has been a powerful advocate for those suffering with OCD. She is a mental health advocate and speaker and provides OCD peer support and consultation.\n\n\nShe was awarded the 2017 International OCD Foundation’s Advocacy Hero Award for all of her work.
