Hypnotherapy for Fear of Blood - Hematophobia
The fear of blood is a quite common phobia and one we see fairly frequently in our hypnotherapy practice here in the UK.
Like all other phobias, blood phobia is essentially an anxiety disorder.
The person suffering from a phobia of blood may very well sense that it is illogical, but this does nothing to help him or her to deal with it.
Symptoms of Blood Phobia
The thought or the sight of blood automatically triggers an irrational fear that seems to overpower the individual, psychologically and even physically.
It can produce a host of worrying symptoms such as dizziness, feelings of faintness, a sudden and rapid decrease in blood pressure, palpitations, dry mouth and nausea. Blood phobia is known by several different medical names and spellings: hemophobia, haemophobia, hemaphobia and hematophobia being the most common.
Origin of Blood Phobia - What Causes Fear of Blood
The actual causes of this phobia usually lie in the individual's past.
At some time in the past, the subconscious mind has linked the thought or the sight of blood with feelings of anxiety.
Very often this has happened in childhood or in the teenage years, though in some instances it may have happened later in life.
This may have happened directly - as a result of a traumatic experience involving blood such as an accident or medical procedure in which blood was drawn, an injection, blood transfusion or the like.
It may also have happened indirectly - through someone else's negative experience that was witnessed by the individual him or herself. Or it may have been modelled on someone else's fear and anxiety and so learned vicariously.
There is also the possibility that in some individuals there is a genetic component or predisposition to this phobia, since it can be prevalent in other members of the family.
In my own clinical experience and opinion, however, this can also be explained by the child's ability to model this fear on the reactions of parents and relevant others.
Whatever the cause, the fact is that this phobia can greatly affect and even jeopardise the person's health.
Often the blood phobic individual will go to great lengths to avoid any situation or procedure that may cause blood to flow. Doctors, nurses, hospitals, injections and other essential medical procedures may all be avoided, even when there is a real need for them.
In some people, hematophobia is also accompanied by an underlying fear of needles (trypanophobia) and by the fear of death (thanatophobia).
