Swallowing vincibility—also known as phagophobia, or fear of swallowing—is a little-known disorder that can profoundly reduce quality of life. Often triggered by a random choking incident, it causes individuals to lose confidence in their ability to swallow, even when their physical swallowing function is perfectly normal. The result can be self-sabotage: avoiding certain foods, withdrawing from meals with others, and living in constant fear of eating.

In this video, we explain the nature of this condition and offer a practical path toward regaining confidence and returning to enjoyable, social eating.
