Hypnotherapy for needle or injection phobia
Needle phobia is surprisingly common, and hypnoanalysis, and hypnotherapy can help you if you suffer from needle or injection phobia.
You may be surprised to learn this phobia is not uncommon, or that between 1% and 3% of the UK population have some kind of phobia about needles (aichmophobia) or, subtly different, injections (tryanophobia).
If you suffer from this phobia you already know how devastating its effects can be. The fear of needles or of having a wound inflicted can trigger extreme symptoms for example:
- refusing blood tests;
- turning down opportunities to go on holiday;
- having drugs administered in tablet form rather than by the recommended injection;
- at the mention of the word, injection, immediately starting to feel sick; heart pounding; feeling extremely anxious and/or ringing in the ears (tinnitus);
- not being able to watch someone else have an injection;
- having to ask someone to take the baby for inoculations because you won’t be able too.
Trypanophobia was pioneered by Dr James Hamilton, and noted in the 1994 DSM - IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Vol. 4) as a blood injection or injury type.
