Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) have all been proven to be effective for specific phobia treatment including emetophobia. Emetophobia is often special in its treatment compared to other phobias in the need to address safety behaviors and compulsions similar to the treatment of OCD.
