Hey! So, I had a question for y’all: does anyone have any suggestions on how to control/stop psychosomatic reactions?
Background:
My family goes on a lot of car trips. I used to be able to read, play on my phone, etc. in the car with no repercussions. One time, however, my sister got carsick and threw up. I was terrified, and ever since then I haven’t been able to read or text or anything in the car (besides nap, converse, and play music) without worrying that I’ll get carsick and vomit. I have no history of carsickness, ever. The worst that would ever happen to me was that my head would get a bit fuzzy. But since the day my sister got sick, I’ve had a psychosomatic reaction of dizziness, strange feelings in my stomach, etc. every time I try to read or text in the car.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to fix this? This has been a problem for...gosh, three years?...now, and I can’t seem to get it under control. Thanks! :3
