You don’t have to do it alone. The fear of needles is complex and affects most humans. There are different degrees of severity. There are physical aspects, but also emotional and psychological aspects. Many suffer with such debilitating fear that they are unable to get medical care at all. Needle phobia can indeed be deadly. You are not alone. And you don't have to do it alone.... For folks who suffer with severe needle phobia, psychological interventions have been proven to be effective. But most don’t know where to turn for help. This is why I am so proud to announce the partnership between Thimble and Therapy Lab. They have developed a five session Needle Phobia Plan to tackle this problem specifically. It includes psychoeducation, guided relaxation, exposure therapy, and virtual reality to reduce fear. Combined with our patent-pending patches, we are able to offer a true multi-modal approach to empower people to get the health care they need. There is a lesson here in entrepreneurship as well. Entrepreneurship is not about competition. It is about solving problems. And to solve problems, we must work together. I am so grateful to be colloborating with this star of a friend and founder, Chandler Sims Chang, Ph.D. You don't have to do it alone. #stickwithcompassion
