A member asked:
Is pinching oneself (to cause slight pain) a good way to overcome nausea when feeling vasovagal from seeing blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Works? If so, yes!: This is a fairly uncomplicated behavioral technique - if it works, it's fine! I guess the reason to be dealing w/ the sight of blood could be important for some reasons, but not if all you want is to deal better w/ it when necessary. (Please don't be a monster!!)
