How it works
BII phobia triggers a biphasic response: initial sympathetic arousal followed by a parasympathetic crash causing fainting. Muscle tensing sustains blood pressure and prevents the vasovagal syncope response.
Only relevant for blood-injection-injury phobia specifically. Not appropriate for other phobia types. Combined with graduated exposure to medical contexts.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
