Abstract : Peter presented to the clinic with dreadful fear of needles: Trypanophobia and overwhelming fear of blood: Hemophobia. His case complicated his need for medication and interfered with his school performance. History of anxiety disorders made him vulnerable to this condition, and his overprotective mother perpetuated his fear unintentionally. He was successfully treated with cognitive behavioral therapy CBT.

Keywords : Trypanophobia; Hemophobia; Overprotective; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, SCARED.
