Hemophobia Treatment, Bloodphobia Treatment, Fear of blood treatment

It's my first article about hematophobia treatment. I will try to track recent news and science researches about this.

Psychotherapy can help you to get rid of bloodphobia.

Here is simple psychologic tips:

1. Strain your muscles: Hematophobia is accompanied by lower blood pressure. If you are fainting you should strain muscles, move hands and legs to stimulate blood circulation
2. Don't scare: Blood on you, on other people, on the TV … Imagine these situations: first you can endure most easier, then what is more difficult to endure. For example, it is possible to begin with a word "blood". It frightens you? Write it on a leaf of a paper, say aloud. When you will overcome this fear, pass to a following situation from your list. So gradually you will get rid of blood fear.
3. Inquire: As well as all people suffering by phobias, you dramatize a situation: you only do blood test, and it seems to you, that you will lose liter of blood. You can ask the doctor or relatives in detail, it will help you to be overcome phobia.

Next time I'll try to create review of real scientific research in hemophobia field.

Hemophobia causes

According to scientific sources (Testing a Genetic Structure of Blood-Injury-Injection Fears)

Scientists made statistical research with 1800+ participants who afraid blood.
And result is: genetic factor that gives rise to fainting is 64% of the variance. Unique environmental factors are also important.

Conclusion citation: "In conclusion, the data indicate that like other specific
phobias, fear of blood, injury, and injections are
substantially caused by environmental factors that are unique to the individual.

However, this phobia is unique in that some sufferers also faint in the present
of their phobic object. The present data found that such
fainting was caused by genetic factors that were shared
with fainting in other contexts and that this same genetic
factor gave rise to blood fears."
