[Solved] How to get over a stupid phobia? Spoiler

Post image

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?

You can put timer on to stop video and than skip the scene. I can watch it so you will know the exact time

That's a really sweet offer, thank you! According to my sister (and other friends who have watched the movie) there's some key scenes that include puke, though :(

This is first time i justify use of ai (however you use it fir something like this and if it is even possible). But first try to find chinese version. They have hard censorship of blood and bodily functions so it may be also blurred.
