Not really, but I have observed the opposite - on more than one occasion we
have had a very seasick person at the "past caring whether they live or die"
stage (and are probably hoping for the latter!), who make a remarkable
recovery with the injection of a bit of fear. Something breaking, or just a
problem that needs all hands, and the adrenalin rush seems to refocus the
sufferer onto something else - often a permanent fix to the problem! Perhaps
"apprehension" is too low a level of fear to have this effect.
I usually suffer a minor bout of seasickness, not disabling, just
unpleasant, on the first day or two of an offshore passage, irrespective of
the weather. As I don't get this on day or coastal cruising, then perhaps
this is the apprehension effect you mention.

Has
anybody gone through a process where sailing in very rough seas causes
seasickness due to apprehension, and then the effect lessens after the
equipment verifies reliability with a few events without problems ?
