Questions People Without Emetophobia Ask Us

Todays episode is a more lighthearted fun style i wanted to try maybe something good to put in as a distraction or whatever you like!

Trying, But In A Different Way

todays episode i talk about how i realised i was forcing myself into a lot of things that i thought were helping me, i discovered i needed to take a different approach and relax a little more let things flow at their own pace, for a long time i have pushed myself really hard to hopefully get away from this phobia but i noticed i wasnt getting anywhere for awhile and i know a lot of us have been there before, i listened to myself for the first time recently and took a day off, didnt do the thing i was dreading doing and i felt really good about it i knew i wasnt letting myself down i knew i was capable but i also knew i needed to rest that day i needed to not force myself into something and this part of my healing process is about letting it flow rather than forcing everything. i hope someone finds some value in this
