That’s a good question! What exactly is it about vomiting that triggers your OCD? Is it yourself doing it, watching/hearing others do it, etc? Identifying specifics could be a good place to start identifying possible exposures.

I struggled with this theme for the first 20 years of my life. It was debilitating at times. Then I accidentally experienced the most severe exposure therapy after taking a job on a whale watch. It went away immediately in one day. 20 years of suffering gone in one day, no joke. Not saying I recommend jumping into the deep end like that, but just living proof that exposure therapy really does work. I can’t stress that enough.
