Hypnotherapy began to be applied to COVID-19 vaccinations for students at the Trowulan Police Headquarters, Mojokerto Regency this afternoon. One of the phobias of needles is Ikhwanul Kirom (23).
The STIE Al Anwar student directly conveyed his fears to the Mojokerto Police Chief AKBP Dony Alexander at the location. He admitted that he had a phobia of needles since he was a child. So far, the Brotherhood only takes medicine when they are sick.
Dony then assigned the Head of Guard and Patrol Arrangement (Turjawali) of the Mojokerto Police Satlantas Iptu Edy Widoyono to serve the Brotherhood. Edy is known as a hypnotherapist.
While doing hypnotherapy, Edy put several suggestions into the Ikhwanul's subconscious. Namely, not to be afraid of needles anymore, Corona vaccination is important for health, as well as being a pioneer of health protocols (prokes) in the community.
After being hypnotized, the Brotherhood no longer has a phobia of needles. He seems calm following the COVID-19 vaccination procedure. Starting from registration, health checks, until the first dose of vaccine is injected.
"I was afraid of injections because since I was little I was afraid of needles. After being hypnotized, I didn't feel the injection when I was injected, the feeling of fear was gone, before the injection there was no nervousness at all," said Ikhwanul at the location, Monday (19/7/2021). ).
The Mojokerto Police Chief, AKBP Dony Alexander, explained that hypnotherapy services were provided to all citizens of Bumi Majapahit who had a phobia of needles. Not only that, hypnotherapy is also given to people who have been afraid of being vaccinated against COVID-19 because of various negative issues circulating on social media.
"Hypnotherapy is to give a sense of calm to people who are afraid of being injected or afraid of being vaccinated. We saw earlier that there was one vaccination participant who was afraid of being injected. After being hypnotized, he was no longer afraid and would become a pioneer of health promotion in the community," he explained.
Dony hopes that the Precision Vaccine Outlets and hypnotherapy services can accelerate the COVID-19 vaccination on Earth Majapahit. By August, 70 percent of the population of Mojokerto Regency will be vaccinated.
"Hopefully this can continue so that later all Mojokerto residents get the vaccine to create herd immunity. So that we are free from COVID-19," he said.
