Funnily enough emetophobia (fear of vomiting) doesn't quite work in the same way.

Instead of making you more likely to throw up it makes you more likely to choke >.< which I admit makes the idea of the next vomit even less pleasurable.

So you could argue that a phobia creates a self fullfiling prophecy I.E. because you fear it it seems worse.

Although this doesn't work for cancer or other diseases seeing as it's proven that a negative approach or denial of cancer can help overcome it. Funny how psychosomatic disorders work really.
