Getting Past a Fear of Needles, Injections and Blood Tests
Our best and deepest learning comes early in life and is usually served up with a large side order of emotional currency.
Hence most needle phobias, or acute fears of giving blood or medical interventions, are created as a result of a traumatic (or even just a little dramatic) medically related childhood experience.
'Steve was amazing, I can honestly say I am no longer needle phobic! I wish I had done this years ago.'
When a small child experiences significant fear, pain and or panic, they will generalise the circumstances and create defence mechanisms to prevent those circumstances happening again.
And so the phobia is born - let the anxiety, stress, insomnia, panic and the like ensue!
'My 17 year old, 6ft2 son had a phobia of needles since he was very young. I was highly recommend to Steve.. My son is all up to date with his vaccines and we are both delighted.'
For obvious reasons, untreated, a needle or blood phobia can have a very significant and sometimes dangerous impact on our life.
But it really doesn’t have to be this way!
Approached in the right way, overcoming a needle or blood phobia can be far easier than you might expect!
'Kirsten taught me invaluable techniques to handle my anxiety issues and minimise the impact of my phobia.'
We have worked with hundreds of clients and helped them overcome their needle phobias (or phobias of medical procedures generally) and as a result to live altogether calmer, happier and all importantly healthier lives!
Through our rapid and results orientated approach, change can often happen more naturally than you might think when overcoming a phobia of needles, injections or medical interventions generally.
But There Are No Magic Wands!
Whilst we certainly do not have any magic wands, because we use modern, rapid and dynamic techniques, for most clients change will occur very naturally and rapidly as a result of them undertaking one, some, or all of the following:
- better understanding their phobia and their mind
- changing core beliefs around themselves in relation to needles / injections / medical procedures
- focussing on how they want to feel rather than on how they don't
- learning AND INTEGRATING new tools, insights and perspectives
- showing some genuine courage and tenacity
In this regard change can be fun! So it would be our pleasure to help you overcome your phobia naturally, comfortably and easily.
What happens in your sessions
Sessions combine hypnotherapy with NLP and CBT techniques, and most clients see us between two and three times. Sessions work just as well online by video as at our Finchley office, so you can start from home.
