⚠️ Content note: This video discusses themes related to vomit and sickness. This story about when my daughter became "ill" at school and had to "vomit" unexpectedly has helped me build strength and has been an important part of my OCD and emetophobia recovery. What is your feared story? 👇 Today I’m sharing something a little different — a story that sounds like one of my real-life mom nightmares: getting that call from school, rushing to pick up a sick kid, and dealing with all the fear and chaos that comes with emetophobia and OCD. …Except here’s the twist: it didn’t happen. I wrote this story as part of imaginal exposure therapy, one of the most powerful tools in OCD treatment — especially for emetophobia. In this video I walk through: ✨ The imaginal story I wrote during therapy ✨ How exposure therapy uses worst-case scenarios to retrain your brain ✨ Why my OCD convinced me this “what if” was too terrifying to even imagine ✨ How moms with anxiety aren’t alone in these fears If you’re new to OCD, ERP, or emetophobia recovery, I hope this gives you clarity, compassion, and maybe a little courage for your own journey.
