When Isabel came to see Jane at Sense-Ability Hypnotherapy & Coaching, she was very distressed and isolated. Not going out. Fearful of going to college to take her exams. Worried about her future.

But after just nine sessions with Jane Pendry, who tailored her Sense-Ability Emetophobia Pathway to Isabel’s needs, she was able to take her exams in College … and she passed them all with flying colours.

Now she is planning her future with hope and gratitude. Here is her warm testimonial from Sense-Ability’s Yell site.

“I was going through a difficult time with school due to an overwhelming emetophobia struggle so I was referred over to Jane to see if I could make any progress and I absolutely have.

“I am very thankful for her emetophobia course as l feel it has helped me get my life back on track.

“I went from hiding away at home being too scared to step outside because of the fear of always going to throw up but after working with Jane I began to understand my body more and she gave me tools to help regulate my nervous system.

“Without Jane, I would still be hiding away in my room but thanks to her I have gained confidence to get out and about again.”

Thank you, Isabel, for your warm Yell review. I appreciate you taking the time and trouble to write about your experience with Sense-Ability.

Isabel was autistic with severe emetophobia and faced a number of sensory challenges every day.

But after just nine sessions with Jane Pendry, who tailored her Sense-Ability Emetophobia Pathway to Isabel’s needs, she was able to take her exams in College … and she passed them all with flying colours.

✨✨ New Year Message ✨

As we step into a new year, it feels important to acknowledge the quiet strength shown by so many people living with anxiety, trauma, stress, IBS, insomnia and complex phobias.

🌱 These experiences can be exhausting, often invisible to others, yet resilience continues to show up in countless ways; even during the most challenging moments.

🌱 Recovery and healing are rarely linear. They are shaped by brave steps forward, quieter days of rest, unexpected setbacks and the courage to keep going when the nervous system feels overwhelmed.

🌱 Making it through the past year while managing these challenges is, in itself, something worthy of recognition.

🌱 The start of a new year does not need to bring pressure or unrealistic expectations.

🌱 It can simply offer space for greater self-compassion, increased trust in the body, gentle progress where possible and permission to rest when needed.

🌱 Anxiety and stress may feel intense and frightening, but they are uncomfortable experiences rather than dangerous ones.

🌿Whether someone is at the very beginning of their journey, well into recovery, or navigating a particularly difficult period, every step counts.

🌿Struggle is not failure, and needing support is not a weakness.

🌳Here’s to a year of progress in whatever form it appears … even if it’s quiet and gradual.🤍

Happy New Year 🌱✨

⭐️ A POWERFUL FIVE STAR REVIEW ⭐️

🙏🏻 Thank you Maria for your powerful review of the root cause and parts hypnotherapy.

⚡️ Trauma need not be something huge or dramatic. All it really means is that our nervous system was overwhelmed and we couldn’t process what was happening in real time, we dissociated or became stuck in hyper-vigilance.

😧 Then the past can ping back into the present and we experience fear, overwhelm, intense anxiety and stress, or some other manifestation that makes us feel out of control or knocked off centre.

😌 Root Cause & Parts hypnotherapy is an established process that helps heal those past wounds and ‘split parts’ formed in childhood. Painlessly, privately and without even having recall or disclose past traumatic events, or even sometimes to fully know what they were.

Here’s Maria’s full review from Yell.

Parts therapy

“I met with Jane in a hard period in my life after my mom had cancer, I had panic attacks every day and was on anti anxiety medication for few months. I couldn’t concentrate on work, became claustrophobic: was afraid to lock the door in the public bathroom or use a lift. My overall health was not good.

“Jane was very kind and professional, fully explained every detail about her approach.

“We did parts therapy for 6 sessions, slowly I stopped taking my medication and by the end of the course felt absolutely fine without it! I started to see my destructive behaviours so clear - like I was looking from my adult self to it. It didn’t trigger me anymore.

“Feeling all this guilt and shame, no surprise I was anxious all the time. It encouraged me to self value myself more. I feel like myself again, I can’t describe how grateful I am to Jane. I still listen to the recording Jane made for me few times a week before bed.”

Thank you Maria for you kind review.

Struggling to explain how emetophobia impacts you? Here’s an article for family, friends, carers, teachers and medical practitioners.

🌿 Do you live with the fear of vomiting, silently suffering but overwhelmed?

You are not alone.

The article “Why is Emetophobia so Complex?” by Sense-Ability offers a heartfelt and honest explanation of what emetophobia really is: a phobia that isn’t about spiders, heights or needles but about a fear of your own body’s automatic reactions to any threat of vomiting.

That’s what can make this complex phobia so constant, exhausting, misunderstood.

This article explains how emetophobia can be rooted in early traumatic experiences of vomiting, sensory sensitivity or neurodivergence and why it can feel so hard to talk about it or explain it to others.

💛 If you’ve ever tried to explain your fear and felt dismissed or “irrational,” this article may help you finally understand what you’re going through, and help you explain it to meducal professionals, schools and family.

Recovery is possible without complex manuals, stressful CBT or exposure and response prevention therapy. There is another, gentler way.

The blog outlines a gentle path to healing based on understanding, kindness, and the right kind of support.

7% of the population are thought to experience emetophobia — a debilitating fear of vomiting that can take over daily life.

But what does the research actually say?

The current, clinically trialled treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) combined with CBT.
It’s the approach explored in the limited published research .

ERP can be extremely tough, and it often requires a highly trained, specialist clinician to deliver safely and effectively. It also doesn’t account for everyone’s needs; for example, autistic individuals or those who can’t tolerate exposure.

👉 In reality, the evidence base is small.
👉 Results aren’t guaranteed.
👉 And the standard approach isn’t suitable for everyone.

There is another way…

A gentler, sensory-informed, neurodiversity-aware, trauma-informed alternative that supports change without forced exposure.

Emetophobia & Autism

The connection between autism and emetophobia (the intense fear of vomiting) is not fully understood.

However, several factors suggest a potential link between the two.

Not everyone with autism will develop emetophobia of course, but the connection between autism, the operation of the vagus nerve (the parasympathetic nervous system) and emetophobia involves a complex interplay of neurological, physiological, and psychological factors that can lead to increased sensitivity to bodily sensations, including vomiting.
