Cure your emetophobia and Thrive, the research-backed self-help programme to overcome your fear of being sick. This book has been written at the request of numerous readers of my 'Thrive' book. I have helped hundreds of emetophobics over the last twenty five years, and supervised the helping of many hundreds of others. This programme is based on my Thrive Programme, but it has been redesigned and re-engineered for people with a specific fear of vomiting/fear of being sick. Including a discussion about all the major research studies into emetophobia, and including my own recent follow-up study of the last 30+ emetophobics I have helped. Where does emeto come from? Why are 90% of the sufferers women? Why is it such a huge phobia to have (probably the worst of all of the phobias)? Why do so many women suffer from it (about 5-8% of all women - to a greater or lesser extent) and yet they mostly keep it secret from their family and friends? Why does exposure therapy generally not work for em

Note: I'm seeing a lot of confusion about the price of the book. I bought this book for about $35 US dollars back in 2015. I believe since the book is out of stock Amazon's bot is just generating random prices.As for the review; If you're American, you will need to digest this book differently than you would most other "self help" books. Psychology doesn't work the same way overseas as it does in the U.S. You'll see what I mean. The author is stern. He's straight forward. He doesn't sugar coat. He doesn't give a shit about your beliefs. In fact that's what this book is all about, challenging your beliefs, limited or otherwise, and really picking yourself apart to discover how you operate and why you developed this phobia in the fist place. It's disciplinary. It makes you 100% responsible for your thoughts, feelings and actions. You can't allow yourself to puff up and get all offended when he curses, or mentions your parents may have raised you wrong, or your faith is pointless. If you allow those walls to go up while you're reading this book it will NOT help you.
This flu season I have read the entire book 2 times and still go over chapters here and there as I need a reminder. The chapters referring to self esteem and control are the most influential to me since that's apparently a spot where I needed the most help. I redo the exercises as needed to see how my results change over time. The book is engaing. He mentions in the first chapter that you MUST complete ALL the exercises throughout the book to see any benefit, and he's right. You have to dedicate yourself to the workbook. Keep a notebook/diary along with the workbook itself to keep track better.
Like I said before, I bought this book when it was in stock back in 2015. I was too lazy and scared to touch it until this year (2017) because I knew I couldn't dedicate myself. Since I started the book before the holidays (it took me about 4 weeks to complete the first time) I have seen a lot of improvement in my overall self esteem. I'm taking chances in areas of my life that I wouldn't have even dreamed of before. I've even got a promotion at work, which won't matter much since I'll be going back to college in the fall! Something else I would have never done. I've hit a couple rough spots, especially around the holidays when I didn't have the time to read through the chapters I needed or to "process my positives". It's taking some time to recover from all that.
I have definitely not "cured" myself of the phobia yet, but I feel like I'm on a straight path in that direction. No other book I found was written like this one and it is incredibly helpful to someone like me. I recommend to anyone suffering with emetophobia to seriously consider the purchase once the book is back in stock.

Cure Your Emetophobia Thrive The Researchedbacked Selfhelp Programme to Overcome Your Fear of Being Sick by Rob Kelly 20130320 Rob Kelly Charlotte Allen 8601418472100 Books Reviews
I usually don't write reviews. However, I hope to provide some info that I strangely did not come across before I purchased the book that would have kept me from wasting $35.
I found this book while looking for ways to help myself get over some anxiety I have in relation to vomiting. I read a lot of reviews, and started to get really excited and hopeful...it seemed there were SO many people saying that this book either mostly or completely cured their emetophobia. After being putting off a little by the price, I eventually decided it would be worth it if I could fix my issue.
First, I want to say, I decided to take the book very seriously, as suggested, even filling out the (what I consider) dorky contract with myself in the beginning. Usually, I don't bother with stuff like that, but I was extremely dedicated to getting rid of my emetophobia and willing to try what the author said.
However, something threw me for a loop right away in the first chapter. The author seemed to be inferring that God is not real, prayer is pointless, and so on. Now, to be upfront, my religion/faith is very important to me and central to my life but I am nowhere near the type to force my beliefs on others. So it did make me uncomfortable, but I thought, ok, the guy's an atheist, doesn't mean I have to subscribe to that, maybe the book can still help me. By chapter three, that message comes across a little stronger. He does come out and say you can still be cured if you are religious/spiritual, but then in so many words communicates that you are a naive fool if you are religious/spiritual because of course, it's all fairy tales. Ok, I got a little more uncomfortable, but still decided to push through. Finally, in chapter 5 he basically states that if you raise your children in your faith tradition, it's not much different than child abuse. That was finally enough for me. It is one thing to not hold a certain belief yourself and state that simply. It is another thing to repeatedly and insultingly foist your disbelief on an unsuspecting reader who is looking for help with a fear of vomiting, not simply declaring your point of view, but inferring if your reader doesn't agree, they are naive, uneducated, superstitious, child abusing and probably will have much less chance of recovery. At that point, I started to page through instead of intensively reading, hoping to find something to redeem the book. I came across a few other "gems." These included that believing in Santa Claus as an adult makes more sense than believing in God, that you can make anyone fall in love with you or get anyone to be your friend, and that some medical issues that I'm fairly certain have been scientifically settled as to cause are simply all in your head and thinking; for instance, PMS, depression caused by chemical imbalance, and physical addiction to cigarettes. At that point, I decided the author is a bit of a crackpot with a real agenda against and anger toward religion. And something I didn't even realize before purchasing the author claims to be a therapist but I could find no educational or professional credentials for him. So it's just some random guy spouting his beliefs...no stated education and yet he has no problem contradicting something as accepted as the fact that nicotine is physically addicting. Quite frankly, it feels like a big money-making scam, and unfortunately, in my desperation to be fixed, I got taken in. You figure someone has a book published and it got good reviews, must be legitimate, right? Lesson learned!
Anyway, I know my review is lengthy, but I wanted to write it because no where in any reviews I read was any of this mentioned and I hope to save someone else the wasted time, money and disappointment I experienced.
I love this workbook!! I have dealt with emetophobia for over 50 years.
Rob Kelly breaks down the workbook into 14 chapters. He uses questionares to help you see where you fall in different areas. From your belief systems to your thinking styles. It is a step by step approach.
I have definitely improved to the extent that I could tolerate going to the emergency room, where I was stationed in the hallway for hours. Bravo to me!!
Highly recommended for those who fear vomiting or vomiters!
And Rob Kelly has a support team to walk you by the hand through the process of you need it!
