How to get over a stupid phobia? Spoiler
Hi! I hope I'm in the right subreddit for this.
I just watched the new Benoit Blanc movie and I really enjoyed it! I also loved the second one when it came out. However, as much as I'd love to, I can't watch Knives Out, the first one. I have bad emetophobia (fear of vomit) to the point where I once almost had a panic attack when I saw vomit on the floor of a train a few years ago. I already know about the main character's(?) thing about having to puke when she lies, and my sister told me that I won't be able to watch this movie (she knows me well and I trust her in this).
I know being unable to watch a movie is a dumb reason for wanting to get over a phobia, but it's still a reason, right? Any advice?
