Has anyone had any counselling for a fear of being sick? And if so what type and did it work?

Dd has a phobia about being sick/others being sick and as she’s now 18 it’s impacting her social life as she’s worry about others being drunk.
thanks

I used to suffer with this quite badly when I was younger. I looked into therapy and CBT seemed to be the way to go but I never actually did it though.

I’d start perhaps with a visit to the the GP although if you can afford it, going to a private therapist would be much quicker. Also, Google emetophobia, there are lots of good resources available online. Best of luck to you and your daughter.
