Emetophobia - an intense fear of vomiting and any thoughts or sensations associated with vomiting - is a more common struggle among anxious people than anyone might initial think. But Emetophobia can make its way into virtually every aspect of life, often resulting in a highly restricted lifestyle and a dramatic decrease in the ability to function.This week Dara Lovitz and Dr. David Yusko join Drew and Josh to talk about emetophobia. Dara suffered for over 30 years before finally overcoming emetophobia through exposure based treatment with Dr. Yusko. Now they're sharing this experience with others in need of help, which is pretty awesome.If your anxiety is driven by an intense fear of vomiting, this episode is absolutely worth a listen. ---Dara Lovitz is an attorney working for a legal nonprofit organization, adjunct professor of animal law at two law schools in the Philadelphia area, and an author. She is a recovered emetophobe and co-wrote her fourth book, Gag Reflections: Conquering a Fear of Vomit Through Exposure Therapy, with her therapist Dr. David Yusko. With Dr. Yusko, she also co-founded Emetophobia Institute, which is the premier online resource for individuals struggling with emetophobia as well as therapists of all experience levels who wish to learn how to help their clients conquer emetophobia.Dr. David Yusko is a licensed clinical psychologist in Pennsylvania and is the co-founder of the Center for Anxiety & Behavior Therapy.

When we're stressed, upset, feeling down, or off, most of us have things we do to decompress. Things we find therapeutic — maybe it's listening to music, working with our hands, or unplugging for a while. But sometimes these mood boosters don't do the trick and it seems like it's time to talk to a professional. During the pandemic, more people sought counseling than ever before. But the process of therapy can still seem a bit opaque. What exactly happens in therapy? How does it work? And which approach is right for which issues? On this episode, we get inside the heads of therapists to find out how they ply their craft, and what it takes to really feel better. We hear stories about what happened when a city took a bold step toward providing free, virtual mental health services to its residents. Also: what happens when politics and therapy collide; how Freud's brainchild — psychoanalysis — is still relevant; and what it's like to grow up as the child of two shrinks. Also heard on this week's episode: We talk with veteran relationship therapist Argie Allen-Wilson about who should get therapy and why, how long therapy should last, and how to break up with your therapist. Allen-Wilson is CEO and co-founder of Family and Individual Therapeutic Healing (or F.A.I.T.H.) Inc. and Connections Matter.' Freud may have given rise to modern talk therapy — but these days, a lot of his ideas, from penis envy to the Oedipal complex, have fallen out of favor. So where does that leave modern psychoanalysis? Reporter Liz Tung talks with psychoanalysts Jonathan Shedler and Steven Kuchuck. For more on psychoanalysis, see Kuchuck's new book “The Relational Revolution in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy,” and Shedler's “That Was Then, This is Now: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for the Rest of Us.” From the time she was a kid, Dara Lovitz had one big fear: vomiting. But when she became a mother, she knew things had to change. Lovitz explains her journey, step by step, from phobia to acceptance through exposure therapy. Her book, with psychologist David Yusko, is “Gag Reflections: Conquering a Fear of Vomit Through Exposure Therapy.” Can you imagine having a therapist around 24/7 — analyzing your behavior, your moods, maybe even your dreams? For journalist Micah Toub, that was just normal life growing up as the son of two shrinks. Nichole Currie reports. Toub's book is “Growing Up Jung: Coming of Age as the Son of Two Shrinks.” This episode was first broadcasted on January 7, 2022

The new year often feels like a good time to make a fresh start, to tackle some issue that's giving you grief — eating habits, work-life balance, having time for friends or exercise… but as the pandemic rages on, it's hard to have the energy to keep trudging along, let alone become some better version of yourself. Which is why more people than ever are turning to therapy. But the process of therapy can still seem a bit opaque. What exactly happens in therapy? How does it work? And which approach is right for which issues? On this episode, we get inside the heads of therapists to find out how they ply their craft, and what it takes to really feel better.

I don't take photos of my food…often. Still, I'd like to consider myself a foodie, at least in the most basic sense. And over the course of this pandemic, I've even picked up cooking AND every meal I've made has been survivable! My wife and I have become more conscious of food choices over what I'll say is the past decade. But even then, I'm still learning about the effects of my diet – not only on my own health, but the health of our society and our planet. My guest today had made it her passion to tie-up all of these lose endsDara Lovitz is a writer, professor, presenter, and co-founding board member of Peace Advocacy Network, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes a peaceful existence through veganism, social justice, and respect for the Earth's inhabitants and resources.

She presents in various forums across the country on animal law, vegan, and parenting topics.We discuss her own journey to veganism & her activism around it, the effects of anti-terrorism laws that unjustly target Animal Rights Activists, her experiences in trying cases for clients who are literally voiceless, and why it's important to find way to help make eating healthy more equitable and accessible.I won't say I'll never eat meat again, but I was blown away by Dara's insight and passion.We need more leaders like her. Enjoy the show.
My guests this week are Dr. David Yusko and Dara Lovitz. We talked about the book they wrote together called Gag Reflections (affiliate link), which describes Dara’s history of emetophobia—an intense fear of vomit—and her treatment with David. We discussed things like the difference between ordinary fear or dislike of something, and an actual phobia; why avoidance is the real problem, even though it’s so understandable that we want to avoid the things we fear; how to do exposure therapy effectively; and lots more. If you suffer from a fear of vomit, this conversation can give you a lot of hope. And whether or not you deal with emetophobia, there’s a lot to take from this discussion.

Vegcast 84 takes a provocative look at how US Law has been altered to crack down on animal activism by classifying much of it as terrorism. But some acts by activists seem pretty close to fitting the definition. We talk with Dara Lovitz about her book Muzzling a Movement. And we hear a cool new track from the band The Faded, which is headed by a vegan. Plus there is a Science Fact about the pollution of the Chesapeake Bay by farmers, but specifically NOT factory farms.
