Several years ago I received a text that simply said: "I did it, I did it - Tony Hancock would have been proud!". "Well done" I replied, unaware of the sender's identity, learning later that the sender was a client I had seen for one session, weeks before. This client had a fear of hospitals, a fear of needles and especially a fear of blood tests.
For those who aren't old enough to remember the late Tony Hancock, he was a comedian who had a TV sketch show. In an episode called 'The Blood Donor', he vascillated over donating blood to great comedic effect.
I regularly see clients who have a needle phobia, are afraid of having medical tests or have some form of 'White Coat Syndrome' and I use a combination of Hypnosis and NLP to help them overcome their fear.
This week is National Blood Week and today, 14th June, is World Blood Donation Day. One of the aims of this awareness day is to get to the position where all blood given globally, is charitably donated. Whoever you are and wherever you live, you may need blood at some time and apparently 96% of us here rely on the other 4% to give blood.
If you'd like to give blood, but are afraid of needles or afraid of blood, give me a call. For the rest of June 2013, I am offering 25% off my normal session fee/s for clients who want help to feel comfortable and confident to donate blood.
'Do something amazing today' is the familiar strapline and call to action of 'Give Blood' (www.blood.co.uk) so if you want to overcome your fear and do something amazing this June, call me now on 020 8947 338 to book your discounted session... Tony Hancock would be proud!
