yikes... kinda a sticky situation. i have a client who hates needles, but i try to be as caring and respectful as possible. she should look for someone she can trust to be as responsive to her needs, and wont get all pissed off if shes a little aprehensive to the needle. she should start small and be careful about her decision. other than that, all i can think of is to have her go in with a good friend who can try and help her mentally put herself out of the situation, and concentrate on breathing. hope i could help!
