About this listen

In this session at the Hope Clinic, Sarah discusses her intense fear of needles, blood, and medical scenarios, commonly referred to as 'white coat syndrome.' Her anxiety has escalated over the years, affecting her daily life and decisions, including avoiding hospitals and ruling out having children. Nik and Eva discover that Sarah's fear originated from witnessing her father faint during her childhood vaccinations, and they explain that phobias often start from misunderstood events in childhood and can be exacerbated by observing parental behaviour.
