Fear of needles update

I did the hypnotherapy session today for the fear of needles that I mentioned yesterday. I was pretty happy with my plan for that session, it was one of the best ones I've planned. I tried to make some use of dissociation (which I hadn't done in the past) and took a lot more care with my choice of words. Unfortunately, I wasn't very happy with the way it went. I felt like I was fumbling my way through it quite a lot. I doubt my friend noticed though - he wouldn't have known the way I had things planned in the first place, but I still wasn't very happy with how I performed.

However, he did seem to think it went pretty well. So it's not all bad. I'll find out how things were for him at the dentist next time I speak to him. Fingers crossed.
