The workshop's main focus will be on teaching clinicians how to harness the incredible curative power of exposure therapy to help our emetophobic clients reduce their suffering and live a more full life day to day. We will discuss how to use three main types of exposure therapy to successfully treat the vast majority of emetophobic case presentations: in vivo exposure, imaginal exposure, and interoceptive exposure. In addition to learning about how to implement these three forms of exposure therapy with your emetophobic clients, we will also discuss the necessary treatment component of safety behavior elimination. Combining effective exposures with safety behavior elimination will provide you with the tools you need to give your emetophobic clients a pathway out of their debilitating anxiety. In support of lecture materials, a recovering emetophobic will share her treatment story with workshop participants to better bring to life these powerful elements of exposure therapy. As such, workshop attendees can use the information provided in this workshop to effectively ameliorate the symptoms of this devastating phobia.

This 4-hour advanced workshop is designed for therapists who have already been utilizing the powerful technique of exposure therapy and are looking to extend that skill to emetophobic clients. It is essential that therapists signing up for this course already have a working knowledge of emotional processing theory, inhibitory learning theory, and hands on experience using exposure based therapies.
