[quote=Anonymous]My ten year old girl is dealing with some serious emetophobia, and it has been affecting her for six months. I am hoping to hear from an experienced family dealing with this. Any words of wisdom? Some background: It began in mid-winter when kids in school were getting sick, and summer break did nothing to calm her. Every single single day she complains of a stomach ache (which is nervousness). Her appetite has suffered (she doesn't want to eat for fear of throwing up) or go to sleep (for fear of throwing up in the night). Now that we are back in school, she is anxious all over again... and it truly stems from this past winter and kids getting sick. She is happy with friends and other normal activities. She has spoken with the pediatrician and the school counselor. Next step is to find a therapist / counselor, which I am fine with. [/quote]
