A self-help guide
Struggling with the fear of swallowing and choking?
There was very little information or guidance available when I suffered from this debilitating condition . I felt isolated and unsure how to move forward.
That’s why I created this guide, to offer practical steps, worksheets, and support for anyone facing the same fears. My hope is that it provides comfort and guidance to help overcome the fear. I hope it can give you reassurance that you are not alone, and that recovery is possible.
This phobia can feel especially overwhelming because we can’t simply avoid food, eating is essential for survival. But it’s not just about staying alive; food is also part of our social life and enjoyment.
With meals and snacks happening throughout the day, it can feel like there’s no escape. The pressure to eat, combined with fear, makes the experience feel relentless and exhausting.
So, how can we reduce this overwhelm that often prolongs our suffering?
