ASMR Hospital Lab | Blood Draw w Anxious Patient | Exam & Culture Swab Collection

Welcome to the Cozy Hospital! You've come into our outpatient lab today to have blood testing done as well as a culture. Our phlebotomist will take her time with you to help ground you and keep you calm, working through your anxiety.

Exposure therapy is big in our house with working through anxiety. I know a blood draw isn't the most relaxing sounding theme for an ASMR role play but since I have read in some comments that some folks watch my videos to help them feel more confident about going in for procedures, I thought it might be helpful to go through the motions of a blood draw slowly to help exposure yourself to the process and mentally calm and prepare.

What is ASMR? ASMR is a tingling sensation often felt on the scalp, neck, shoulders and back, although you may feel tingles in other places as well! ASMR is triggered by different types of stimuli. It can be personal attention, gentle touch, hand movements, crinkling, tapping sounds... there are lots of different types of ASMR triggers and everyone is different when it comes to what triggers their ASMR!
