21% of Americans have a fear of needles, are you one of them?

Trypanophobia is the extreme and irrational fear of medical procedures involving injections or hypodermic needles.

I know how you feel.I love to travel, but getting those shots I hate with a passion. No matter good the travelling is, I still hate getting the injections.

But there is something that you can start using today…

It is thought that a fear of needles has evolved from the fear of being stabbed.

What is this technique?

It’s EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

How Can EFT help you overcome your fear?

What is that you fear will hurt or go wrong?  As you think about needles, any negative emotion i.e. anxiousness or fright can easily and quickly be resolved and dissolved with EFT.

A fear of needles isn’t so much the fear of the needle but what might happen or more importantly…what might hurt.

Even though I’m afraid of needles…
Even though the sight of needles scares the hell out of me..

Thought or Feeling of Needles

Even though I don’t like the thought of being hurt…
Even thought this is really going to hurt me…
Even though you’re not meant to put something in me…

Childhood Experiences

I grew up having to have injections for travel as a child. At one point I hid under the desk in the doctor’s surgery. My grandmother was not impressed.  Yet, there was no way my doctor was going to stick that needle into me.  My last lot of travelling I had to have six injections.  All were pain and more importantly anxiety free.

With EFT if you can remember any past experience or even with needles.  You can tap on that to dissolve the emotional charge that the event has on you.

Even though I remember being in the doctor’s surgery and hiding under the desk…
Even though I’ve bad experiences in the past, I’m choosing to release this anxiety now…

The more specific you can be with any event, i.e. date, time, how, who was there, what was said, the quicker and easier you’ll get over your fear of needles.

Yet, you’ll still have great success with:

Even though I have this fear of needles…

It might just take slightly longer as you mind goes looking for your past needle events.

Most people don’t fear needles, isn’t it about time you became one of them?
