I'm the same way. In fact, I get sick at the sight of blood. Depending on the extent of the injury, I may even panic and hyperventilate. But if I cut myself, I don't.
The fact that you had a stronger reaction than what is normal for you may be a sign of improvement. I can't say I've heard or read anything about that, but it makes sense to me. I think the best person to determine that would be yourself. Do you feel like this is an indication of improvement? If so, congratulations to you!
I'm sorry you hurt your finger, and I'm sorry your reaction was less than fun! That kinda stuff wigs me out sometimes, too.
