The book is informative, practical and supportive; a great resource for understanding and overcoming emetophobia providing you with tips and tools you need to prepare yourself for dealing with it. Clear, concise and not at all condescending it is ideal for anyone wanting to break free from their fear. -- Anxiety UK An invaluable resource for anyone living with emetophobia.
