In episode 374 I chat with Dr Jeremy Peterman. Jeremy is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and co-director at the Marin center for anxiety and behavioral therapy. 

We discuss what is emetophobia, phobia or OCD or both?, client therapy examples, trauma and emetophobia, the worries and compulsions that go along with emetophobia, the treatment for emetophobia, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Jeremy gives a lot of exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) examples, we discuss values, disgust, shame and self-compassion, and much more. Hope it helps.
