Needle phobia: Try to expose your self to needles gradually, have a friend accompany to your next doctor's appointment when you have blood work. Ask your doctor to help with your anxiety as well. This is a learned fear that can be reduced significantly with gradual exposure. Best.

CBT for some works: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented.
