Do you suffer from a fear or phobia of Needles?

by Jim Brackin

The Fast Phobia technique developed from neuro-linguistics has been proven to be highly effective – treating in hours lifelong fears and phobias. But can you really trust the claims made by the sellers of these online therapies?

Suffering from a needle phobia can have a huge effect on your life. You’ll know that to suffer from a phobia of needles will often produce a reaction that can range from mild discomfort to distress all the way through to sheer panic. You may, in the past, have wondered what caused your needle phobia. Well it may have originated from an unpleasant experience that involved an injection or seeing someone else have an injection. It could have been as simple as seeing something unpleasant on TV or in a film and then imagining it happening to you. Or sometimes phobia is a learnt behaviour for example you may have experienced a relative or someone close to you who had a needle phobia.

Whatever the cause, the good news is that.... Phobias are curable.

But how do you know which of the many options available to pick, there are so many claims made by so many online sellers, often without any credible third party endorsement. So, if you are going to part with your hard-earned cash perhaps you’ll want some real proof of the claims made.

To date, only one phobia treatment has been tested, researched and reviewed in full view of the public, by the national magazine Woman’s Own. They conducted their own trial of the Fast Phobia Cure, they chose the subject and promised to publish the results – whatever they were. Despite many being asked, only one therapy chose to take up the challenge – Phobia Free. The Woman’s Own article was entitled “I was so scared of needles I couldn’t go anywhere exotic” and reported that a 20-year phobia of needles was completely cured in just a few hours. Below is an extract of the experience of the client, Louise Moore, 33, from Nottingham.

“The only thing I remember being scared of as a child is needles. I lay awake at night dreading my rubella jab at school and by the time I got to the front of the queue to get the injection, I was hysterical. I've always enjoyed travelling and love going on holiday, but I've stuck to countries where you don't need to have any jabs. It's the thought of the needle going into my arm that makes me sick with fear.

I really wanted to overcome my phobia, and he said I needed to remember what had made me fear needles in the first place. To my surprise, I found myself saying that it started when I was two. I must have had injections at that time.

By the end of the session needles no longer bothered me. I could have had a jab there and then! This year I don't have to worry about where to go on holiday because having inoculations isn't a problem we can go anywhere!”

Three years after the original Fast Phobia Cure treatment Louise is still phobia free. If it can work for people like Louise then it can work for you. Search Google and you’ll find many online therapies that claim to be effective, but Phobia Free, the technique used in the Women’s Own article is the only one that has been pubically tried and tested. So if the thought of an injection causes you to break out into a cold sweat perhaps now is the time to end years of suffering.
