Dr. Barbara Toohill answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Shot anxiety: You can perform relaxation techniques just prior to or during your shots, and can practice ahead of time by vividly imagining getting a shot while simulataeously performing your relaxation. You can also write out your fear thoughts and argue them with more rational thoughts. Positive self talk about how good you will feel when they are done can also help. Good luck!
