Fear of Vomiting

“My 12-year-old daughter’s fear of vomiting was ruining our lives. She didn’t want to go to school and was terrified of getting sick. Ruth slowly helped my daughter realize that even if she or someone else she knew threw up, she would be okay. The exposure work was amazing. Ruth and my daughter watched videos of people throwing up, and they even made pretend vomit and practiced making gagging sounds! It sounds weird but it worked and my daughter is able to go to school and camp without fear.“
