One of the most common treatments is cognitive-behavioral therapy; Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world, or in this case blood, are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavioral patterns. People suffering from hemophobia learn to replace fearful self-talk with healthier responses to the sight of blood. Medications can also be prescribed in order to help curb the anxiety people feel at the sight of blood. This also helps them focus on the treatment strategies they're being provided. ]]> 2018-02-16 15:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mcondra6246/bywef9sjm6bs/wish/232376984 Famous mcondra6246 https://padlet.com/mcondra6246/bywef9sjm6bs/wish/232387191 Hemophobia is a very common phobia;
