Hi Susie Q,
When you said "that has made me even more anxious about being anxious (if that makes sense)", I nodded my head vigorously!  I think that many of us who have anxiety issues can related to this exact thing.  
I have found this program is so helpful for that exact thing because it helps us realize that it's often our negative thoughts that can trigger anxiety attacks, so if we challenge our thinking, we can help ourselves minimize those anxious moments.
Living without the anxiety is a very attainable goal.  Keep at it and it gets easier and easier.
Let us know how you are doing!

Hi Suzie Q,
Welcome to the forum. I don't really have a fear of vomiting but of course, I'd prefer not to do it. I have a fear of fainting, although I've never fainted. Is this fear the main reason your anxiety is getting stronger these days? Well, I hope to hear more about you. Keep venting and you will discover new things about yourself.

Welcome SuzieQ!
 
The program certainly can help.  Be sure to make a plan to stick with it.  Don't forget to reward yourself for completing sessions.  Also, post and read often.  We are all here to support you through this.
 
I look forward to reading more from you!

I am new here. I have always been kind of anxious but lately its been getting more intense. Normally I could supress my anxiety and panic attacks but sometimes it doesn't work anymore, and that has made me even more anxious about being anxious (if that makes sense). And I have a rather odd phobia of vomitting. I have tried thearapy, hypnosis, NLP, self-hypnosis CDs, exposure and even meditation to try and make my emetophobia go away, but no luck, so guess I'll try this program and see..... It may not seem like something that interferes in my everyday life, but I watch what I eat, what transport I use (in case I feel nausea), I wash my hands a millions times if anyone I know has gastro, I avoid rollarcoasters etc at all costs and never want to have kids because of the morning sickness involved. So I think it's time to try and fix it........
