I was called by a young woman (I
will call her Linda not her real name to protect her identity)
who had been given my number by Paul McKenna's office as
one of the people that he refers work to. Her needle phobia
was so bad that she even used to faint when she had her blood
pressure done! She had been told by doctors that she needed
to have an operation but she did not want to have it because
of her needle phobia was very bad so she was given my phone
number as someone who could help her. We had a chat on the
phone and arranged an appointment for as soon as possible
as the hospital wanted her to have the operation as soon
as possible and the doctors had agreed to give her six weeks
to get rid of the phobia.
She drove from Devon with her husband
to see me and we meet at my office in South Buckinghamshire
and started work. She told me that the doctors had said that
she would be in intensive care for a week or so after the
operation with a number of drips etc. We started work straight
away and in just over 2 hours she was able to think about
having an injection and be calm. Her husband was amazed by
how she was now able to feel relaxed while talking about
having an injection.
I had a phone call from Linda
the following evening and at first I didn't recognise the
voice that was saying
"it's me Linda" as she sounded so different to
the scared nervous woman that had first called me. Linda
excitedly told me that the following day she had called her
GP and told them that she was ready to come in and have a
blood test done as the hospital doctors urgently needed a
sample to test. The staff at her GP knew her by her past
reputation as the woman who used to faint and in the past
refused blood tests and at first they thought that she was
winding them up but Linda insisted that she had changed and
wanted the test done so they agreed to do expecting her to
not turn up or faint. The nurse who saw her and did the blood
test was amazed not only by the fact that Linda went in and
had the test done she was really impressed by how calm Linda
had become and was curious by what she had done to change
so dramatically as the Linda in front her her now who had
just calmly had a blood test done was so different to the
Linda she had seen a week or so earlier.
Linda told me that she was so happy
and excited about what had happen that she had spent all
evening ringing friends and family telling them and wanted
to call me to say thank you. And to let me know that she
had spoken to the hospital doctors who were delighted and
that she was going to go in the following week to have her
operation.
I am also happy to be able to tell
you that I spoke to Linda the week after her operation while
she was still in hospital and she told me that even though
she was in intensive care for several days following the
operation and when she woke up she had a total of 18 drips
etc that the doctors had said she would, she had found it
easy to deal with the whole experience. The operation had
been a complete success and the the doctors were amazed and
impressed by how different and relaxed she had become and
also by the rapid recovery she was making so much so that
she was moved from intensive care to a normal ward a few
days earlier than expected and was able to leave hospital
for home a week sooner then predicted.
Linda has since referred other clients
to me and I have been told a bit more about why the doctors
had wanted Linda to have the operation so urgently. Although
I was not aware of it at the time the doctors had told Linda
that either she had the liver operation or that she would
probably be dead within 6 months. Before seeing me Linda
was so scared by the thought of needles that she had suggested
to her husband that they sell the house and enjoy what time
they had left together before she became too ill. Now Linda
is fully recovered, healthy and enjoying life with her husband
in their house in Devon.
