They didn't "cure" me, but with a phobia comes anxiety, so they had to retrain my brain to relax to the level that a baby does, and then re-learn how I view things...
It still botheres me and it'll always bother me but compared to what I was I'm a different person...the things I used to do to avoid feeling sick, being sick and avoiding anyone who felt sick were unreal, my therapist honestly thought I was winding him up at times. And that's one of the many reasons I don't want kids! My mum's only got me and she was only ill once through her entire pregnancy, but I know people who suffered terribly and that's a risk I will not take.
