The Emetophobia Awareness Project

For something that affects so many people’s lives in such a deep and profound way, emetophobia is shockingly misunderstood and understudied, even by professionals.  This ongoing neglect of a condition that destroys the quality of life for what is likely millions of men, women, and children around the world is something that I’m sure you would agree needs to change, but the question is how?

Increased awareness can be all it takes.

On the surface, it may seem like just making people more aware wouldn’t really be very helpful.  What does it matter if people know what emetophobia is or if they remain as they are now, clueless that it even exists?

Awareness is the driving force that propels a condition from relative obscurity to one that gets the attention required to elicit change.  Increasing awareness and making the condition more visible to the public as a whole would lead to more research being done, which leads to more answers, treatment options, and availability of help for sufferers.

Here’s Where You Come In

Awareness needs to be driven by the community.  It need YOU to push it forward and into the public eye.

The good news is that in today’s world it’s incredibly easy and takes almost no effort at all to help and participate.  You don’t need to share your personal story (but it’s great if you want to), you don’t need to wear a t-shirt about it, and you don’t need to wear a special ribbon so people ask you about it.

All you need to do now is push a button.

The whole world is together now on Facebook and Twitter and other social platforms. All you need to do to play your part in making the future different is to click a button and share something about emetophobia that will increase its visibility and help people gain a basic understanding of the condition.

That’s it.  Just a click and things can start changing.

More research.

It all starts with you and the rest of the community.
