So in my pervious post I wrote that I haven't seen my therapist for a month and today was the first time back and we started exposure therapy. I have a SEVERE phobia of anything medical related, I can't even watch shows about hospitals. So today my therapist was explaining to me how the exposure would work and asked if I was nervous, which of course I was. Apparently she sensed the fear because I was quiet during the session. So my homework for the week is to start watching a show about hospitals and everything. I watched 2 episodes today, but as I was watching it, I kept pausing it, or covering my eyes, or just skipping all the parts with surgeries, needles, deaths... Which completely defeats the purpose. I don't know what to do. I decided to watch another one but only got through 5 minutes of it because I couldn't take it anymore. The fear of seeing a needle out of the nowhere was stressing me out too much. She said I can email her if I have any concerns but how on earth am I supposed to get myself to get blood drawn (the last exposure) when I can barely make it through a 45 minutes tv show?
