Default Emetophobia

Has anyone had success treating emetophobia (fear of vomiting)? What has been helpful?

I am bewildered by how much difficulty I have had helping clients de-catastrophize the possibility or the past experience of vomiting. Emesis seems to take on the valence of a life-threatening assault, an attitude/belief that seems immune to cognitive challenges.
