CBT : Systematic desensitization is a specific type of behavior therapy that is very helpful to individuals to overcome fears, like emmetaphobia. It involves gradual exposure to the concept of "vomiting" while teaching a person to be able to be able to tolerate their feelings of discomfort. Contact a licensed psychologist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy for this type of treatment.
