In this article we will describe the case of adult blood phobia, who after a traumatic experience during very risky birth giving (with previous placenta), with cardiopulmonary arrest in the operating room, developed a specific blood phobia with panic attacks. Five years after the traumatic experience, the patient was treated in our consultancy during one two hours session with EMDR. The result were immediately, because when the patient came home after the session, she had to help a worker to take out a nail he had hammered in his hand, without suffering any of the anxiety symptoms she always had before.
