Hypnotherapy to cure a Needle Phobia –
Fear of Needles or Trypanophobia
Using hypnosis in the form of hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) it is possible to cure a needle phobia, fear of needles or fear or phobia of injections.
Most people who come to me to address a needle phobia are actually suffering from Trypanophobia. Trypanophobia is not, strictly speaking a needle phobia but a fear of injections. Related phobias are: Aichmophobia (fear of needles or sharp objects) and Belonephobia (fear of needles and pins).
A needle phobia is not one that can be avoided that easily. Ones needle phobia or injection phobia will cause problems if one has a baby, an operation, an inoculation such as when one desires to visit certain countries, has an illness investigated or visits the dentist for dental treatment.
The symptoms of injection or needle phobia may be intense fear or panic that can cause the sufferer run away or a reaction that makes the sufferer faint or “pass out”. A needle phobia can endanger the sufferer’s health, comfort and wellbeing by making them avoid or refuse essential medical or dental treatment.
A needle phobia or phobia of injections generally has its origins in some traumatic experience involving actual mental or physical pain or fear of physical injury. The incident does not have to involve needles or sharp objects. A needle phobia can develop after seeing another person’s fear.
Hypnotherapy and NLP is used to help the sufferer to develop a new safer perspective that does not hold the fear that was programmed in when the needle phobia was initiated. Using hypnosis your needle phobia, fear of needles or injections can be overcome. To read how one of my clients learnt to manage her fear of injections read "Needle or Injection Phobia Managed – Ellie's experience".
