I can't eat because I'm afraid of vomiting (Emetophobia).

This is a type of specific phobia where an extreme fear of indigestion or vomiting leads to food refusal and subsequent underweight. Treatment begins by strengthening the digestive system's function (often referred to as 'spleen and stomach' in traditional medicine) and instilling the physical confidence that 'I won't experience indigestion.'

먹는 것이 고문이 된 상황입니다.

  • 동반: 공황장애나 사회불안장애(남 앞에서 먹기 두려움)와 같이 오는 경우가 많습니다.
  • 단계적: 죽 같은 부드러운 음식부터 시작해 조금씩 양을 늘려가는 적응 훈련을 합니다.
💡 소화제

항상 소화제를 소지하는 것만으로도 심리적 위안이 되어 식사가 수월해집니다.
