The "V" word. VOMIT. The fear of vomiting is one of the most common phobias. Managing the fear of vomiting can be difficult because just the thought of vomiting can make people feel queasy.

During this class, you will learn the Cognitive Behavioral skills necessary to help you deal with the uncertainty and uncomfortability of when (not if) you will vomit again. We'll help you become more confident that you “will be able to handle” vomiting.
