Fear of Needles Hypnotherapy Gold Coast
Fear of needles or Trypanophobia is one of the most common fears or phobias that people suffer with. This may have nothing to do with the pain associated, and otherwise pain-tolerant people may still suffer with a fear of needles. Did you know that it is quite common for even those with several tattoos to fear needles? Our Fear of Needles Hypnotherapy program is designed to help you overcome your Trypanophobia, and eliminate the hold that it has over your life.
As many as one in four people suffer from Trypanophobia, with around half of those being affected by a severe and debilitating fear which makes it almost impossible for them to be given an injection. Needless to say, this can make life difficult when injections are necessary, and can even prevent sufferers from accepting necessary pain medication or other injections. Although the fear is very real, and very difficult to overcome alone, often the phobia has very little to do with pain and more to do with an anxious response to the mere thought of the needle.
A fear of needles can mean the following:
- Inability to receive medication (pain, or other)
- Inability to receive vaccinations (scheduled vaccinations, or those necessary for travel to certain countries)
- Inability to travel to certain countries, because of this
- Inability to accept vaccines (for poisonous bites, for example)
- Extreme anxiety response, such as anxiety attack, at the sight or thought of needles
- Embarrassment due to the fear becoming public or known to friends, family and colleagues
