Did anyone watch the first episode? Not sure how I feel about it, was very interesting but also uncomfortable at times.

But from the preview it looks like there's someone else with emetophobia next week

Yes good point thinking about it
Was she actually going to be sick in front of her? Or would she have made an excuse up in the end to go in the other room anyway?

She didn't look that sick to me considering this is a person who's going to be sick very imminently!

They should her mixing up a salt water drink so presumably she was going to drink that to make herself sick.

Showed her, sorry

I have claustrophobia and no way in hell could you put me in an MRI with just beta blockers.

I've had BB in the past for migraine and anxiety (at different times) and it does absolutely nothing to me. 10mg of diazepam is still not enough to stop me shaking. I've had three scans, two were spoiled because of the uncontrollable shaking.

I also hadn't realised I had claustrophobia until the pushed me into the first scan, so that was exciting...

I saw a program where they used a VR headset on people for MRI scans and it worked really well. I think 95% of people fear being in an MRI scan

Wow.. what a trays job to make yourself vomit for a clinic 😬 I did wonder if it was going to be real because of the glass of water

CountTo10 · 19/02/2025 10:17

Didn't watch the programme but a friend of mine who is a psychotherapist and deals with phobias would put chicken soup in his mouth and pretend to 'vomit' that up when dealing with emetaphobes?

CountTo10 · 19/02/2025 10:18

Sorry just seen the update. Clearly my friend who works on his own isn't able to vomit at will. Wouldn't have thought it was a healthy thing to encourage someone to do either.

purpleme12 · 19/02/2025 16:50

I thought there might be some ethical reason as well to getting someone to be sick

If they're being sick command I'm wondering how much they're paid now...

I can't get my head around this
