Needle Phobia with Judith Hanson

Have you had your Covid jab yet? Would you like to, but are held back because you have a phobia around needles?- Have you not visited a dentist for years?- Do you avoid blood tests?- Do you avoid all medical procedures that might involve needles?- Are you unable to watch someone have an injection?- Are you unable to look at needles - a picture or for real?- Do you hate people talking about needles and medical procedures?If you have answered Yes to all, some or one of those questions then you are likely to be suffering from needle phobia. So how are you feeling about being called for your COVID-19 vaccination? Will you be able to go? Will you go and then be unable to have the vaccination? Will you feel guilty if you don’t have it? This week I’m talking to my friend, Therapist, Judith Hanson, about  Covid Anxiety and needle phobia and her new, affordable online program to combat it. Find out more on Judith’s website: www.judithhanson.co.uk/needle-phobia-programAbout the Midlife and Beyond Podcast.  Like all transitions, midlife can be messy and sad and glorious all at once, leaving many midlife women feeling rather alone and somewhat invisible. But what does this transition we are experiencing lead to?  I'm Jo Blackwell, a photographer, author and coach for women who want more from their lives post 50, and I'm here to remind you that if we manage our health and embrace it, growing older can lead to one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation of our lives.  The Midlife Movement was created to change minds about midlife and growing older, one story at a time. Because we only become invisible when when we stop seeing ourselves.  email [email protected] to take part in the podcast or suggest guests.  See The Midlife & Beyond section of my website for more information and resources to help you navigate change with less stress and more joy! www.joblackwell.co.uk  Get full access to Midlife & Beyond with Jo Blackwell at joblackwellmidlifeandbeyond.substack.com/subscribe
