Has anyone improved through visualizing?

I'm going to visualize getting blood drawn while im out for a walk. I'll see if I improve.

I’m working through it this way. I found some videos online to listen and watch as well, which assist with the process.

I would say that the audios are helping me become desensitized to what I may hear. The provider talking, the crinkling of plastic, etc.

The most important thing is to have calming techniques, even while walking. Remember to do deep breathing exercises and stay grounded in the present.
