Patients can employ various coping mechanisms to manage their fear, including:
- Relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, meditation, or listening to music can help calm nerves. - Bringing a support person: Having a trusted friend or family member present can provide comfort. - Discussing fears openly: Talking about specific fears with the healthcare provider can lead to tailored approaches to ease anxiety. - Seeking therapy: Professional counseling can be beneficial, especially for those with a history of trauma.
