Hypnotherapy

NAS77144

My 14 year old son has a terrible fear of injections. He doesnt have the communication or rationalisation skills to move past this and goes into an absolute meltdown if it gets mentioned. He has missed various vaccinations, and of course is refusing to get the COVID vaccine which may cause us issues with holidays in the future. Has anyone had experience with a hypnotherapist that specialises with children with autism?

We have tried more than 20 times to get him into the doctors, but the battle is lost. Because the fear is so deep routed, he cant get his head around the idea of getting him help and wanting to resolve this. I need a therapist that can help him want to accept help, and then reprogram him to accept getting an injection

Thanks in advance

  • Might you be able to get it done at home? Where he is comfortable? Maybe pop some music on his headphones and keep his attention while it happens? Or maybe he’d just like for things to be explained as to what’s happening next and why for each step?

    Hypnotherapy might work. How it would be applied I don’t know, but it’s worth a shot in my opinion.

    Specialists in phobias might be able to intervene….?
