Do you have a phobia about needles?!
Question: Mine was so bad that I've managed to build up a pain tolerance of Super Woman just to avoid getting a needle of any kind. Hypnosis helped alot, and as long as I don't see the needle, I can deal with it.

I personally have no problems with needles. I have a friend who considers them her mortal enemy though. She told me that she went to the doctor to get a shot, and since she already hated needles she fainted. When she woke up they gave her the shot and she had a seizure. After THAT they gave her blueberry pancakes to eat, which she than threw up. She now hates and fears blueberries, needles/shots, and buzzcuts. I don't know about the last one.
EMDR therapy helped me a bit, because I am deathly afraid of needles (no one can ever find my veins when drawing blood, and they just poke around in my arms, wrists, hands, etc. for hours), and when I had my first daughter I has to have an amnio (ever seen one of THOSE needles???) and knew I wouldn't make it through the procedure without help
EMDR is a kind of hypno-therapy using motions of your eyes
hope this helps :)
I get panic attacks when I go even near hospitals or dentists just because I associate them with needles.
Only thing I have a problem with. Keep meaning to get hypnosis or something similar. Don't even have to see it. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable just writing this and thinking about them.
