Description

<p>The progress of treatment for blood-injection-injury phobia was aided by measuring physiological indices during Applied Tension (ApT) and sharing them with the patient. The patient had avoided being seen in a healthcare setting for a prolonged period because of fear of nausea and fainting when her blood was drawn. In the treatment sessions, the therapist measured the patient’s pulse rate and blood pressure at baseline and during the ApT and communicated the results with the patient at each ApT session. After twelve sessions, the patient did not feel nausea or fear when her blood was drawn. There was no recurrence of the symptoms at the follow-up session ten weeks after the last treatment session. In ApT, it was inferred that sharing the pulse rate and blood pressure values with the patient aided the patient’s understanding of the symptoms’ mechanism and the treatment’s progress.</p>
