    Default Living with emetophobia book

    I am just wondering if anyone has bought the book and if so did it work well.

    I started feeling unwell this afternoon, but know its all in my head.

    I have it, and read it, and made my boyfriend at the time (we're no longer together) and father read it.

    It's a good book that shares a story and for someone is is just discovering this phobia that they have should read it. It was an eye opener for me.

    It was only 12.95 USD on Amazon.com

    Yes, it was written by someone that was a member here. I don't think she posts anymore, though.

    It got some bad reviews on Amazon. I only read a small part of it (online I think) and it wasn't written well. It seemed to be written in British lower-class vernacular.

    You can read the first few pages online on Amazon. I'd say it was in a colloquial, rather personal style, rather than being 'British lower-class vernacular'. You'd probably be quite shocked by how the 'lower' classes actually speak if you popped over to the UK! :P

    It seems to be more of an account of what it is like to live with the phobia rather than a treatment or self-help book, but it has its place.

    Thanks for this post huggy I've been seeing this book for a while and pondering whether to buy it or not... however I'm looking for something which has more of a "how to deal with it" and anxiety relief type. I would actually love to get it to give to my mum to read because although she knows what i go through she kind of shrugs it off... JadeNight... Did your father and ex boyfriend give you any feedback on what they thought of it as non-emets??

    Thankssssssssssssssss

    I actually saw the rating on amazon.com and it didn't get a very good rating. It only tells a persons story apparently.

    I think I am after the "magical" cure book as well, although we all know that it doesn't exist

    I have always loved reading books, as they open up new worlds and ideas. It is a great escape from the daily routine. When I have assignments, I often rely on essay writing paper services to help me manage my time and focus on reading, so I can stay inspired and organized with my studies.
