Hello
Was just wondering if I should try hpnotherapy to help with my irrational fear of injections andhaving my BP taken. I am going to need to jabs at the end of the year and I just feel faint and queasy at the mere thought....I will faint, it's not the pain I'm worried about as I know it doesn't hurt that much. I will also be needing to habe blood tests etc next year (planning a baby) so will need help with that.
Would hypnosis help, would it last forever or would I need 'top ups', how much would I expect to pay and what credentials should I look for in a therapist?
Hoping someone will be able to enlighten me, I'm sure someone can, this is an excellant forum!
Thanks

I was freed from a life long phobia of needles in one 20 minute session of NLP. I'm living proof it works:D
One session was all it took - no need for top ups.
I won't pretend I *enjoy* injections now, but it's a bit like cleaning the oven - it needs to be done sometimes, and it's a s*** job, but you just roll up your sleeves and before you know the job is done.Amethyst x
That was and is EXACTLY my experience. I volunteered as a guinea-pig to have the phobia cure done on me by the trainer. I had a lifelong phobia of needles, to the extent that I had several deep fillings in my teeth without anaesthetic as a teenager because I was terrified of the needle.
I was put on a drip as a baby.
However, although the process takes about 20mins, don't expect to be doing much for the rest of the day. I sobbed and sobbed. No pain, discomfort, just massive clearing sobs. I was fine after, but a bit limp!
