People are ashamed to admit it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some people trace their fears back to a traumatic childhood hospital admission, or are afraid of surrendering control. A small number of roughly 1 out of 1,000 have a deep phobia that requires repeated sessions to prepare them for a jab.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the (coronavirus) pandemic\u2026, you see that a lot of people who had been able to avoid it are now up against the wall. People who need to get the COVID-19 vaccine are an important group for me this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patient Astrid Nijsen, a 31-year-old musical actress who has had 10 sessions with Schenk, says she\u2019d still feel anxious about being vaccinated, even without a needle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt started during puberty. When I see a needle, or have to get a shot, I just want to leave. I\u2019ll tear the place down just to avoid getting a shot,\u201d she said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
