Why has my emetophobia come back with a vengeance?

Anyone else struggle with emetophobia?

It ruled my life for most of my late teens and early twenties. After £££’s and years’ worth of therapy, CBT, hypnotherapy, etc, etc, I had it under control and would say I was 95% ‘cured’.

Until about a month ago. One of the kids was sick and it really triggered me. I’ve been an anxious mess ever since and I’m so angry about it!!

Why has it come back? Why now? Why have all my usual tricks and techniques totally failed me this time?

Anyone been through similar and got any insights to share?

Is it a particularly high stress time in your life?
I know my ocd only ever shows up if I'm stressed after. And only a particular kind of stress too (family +any other factor). Also my phobia of moths is 10 times worse when I stay with family. In comparison to if one showd up in my own home.

So...stress or particular stress triggers in your life right now?

Are you listening to too much news which is highly negative?
