Overcome Your Child's Fear Of Needles

Children are sometimes afraid to go to the doctor or dentist because of a fear of needles. Unfortunately, to stay healthy, medical and dental procedures often require the use of a needle to give a shot or to draw blood. This track uses a fun story called Johnny and the Dragon full of gentle hypnotic suggestions to convince the subconscious mind not to be afraid anymore. Parents: there is a dragon in this story who lives in a cave, but he is old and relatively harmless. The story uses the dragon metaphor to talk about fear of medical procedures - all he does is give a mild scratch or bite, like the needle in a shot. I have used this technique with some child clients. After a few listens it works like a charm. Give it a shot! Pun intended.
