Critic reviews

The book is informative, practical and supportive; a great resource for understanding and overcoming emetophobia providing you with tips and tools you need to prepare yourself for dealing with it. Clear, concise and not at all condescending it is ideal for anyone wanting to break free from their fear. (Anxiety UK)

An invaluable resource for anyone living with emetophobia. I wish this book had been around when I was having therapy for my emetophobia, but I'm so glad to have it now to dip into whenever I need it.
