What is a needle phobia (trypanophobia)?
Can’t remember the last time you went for a medical consultation without feeling incredibly anxious?
Even the thought of having a blood test causes you to freak out even to the point of you experiencing a panic attack?
Not fun, is it?
Trypanophobia is the medical name for this condition. It’s estimated that 25% or more of the adult population have this fear to some degree. In kids this number is believed to be much higher. A fear of needles usually starts in childhood and can disappear over time, however for some people it never goes away and may even get worse.
Symptoms of this phobia are:
sweating
palpitations
feeling nauseous
dizziness
panic attacks
trembling
fainting
What can be done?
Using BWRT and other therapeutic interventions it’s actually easy to work on the phobia. It’s possible to completely resolve the phobia in just a few sessions so you can finally go and get that blood test done!
Hi Liz
The blood test went really well today! I got anxious in the waiting room but doing the exercises helped reduce it. This was an amazing reduction. Thank you so much for the sessions. I’m super happy with my outcome!
