Pregunte a un mentor: ¿Cómo puedo superar mi miedo a las agujas y a las punciones en el dedo?
Pregunta para el mentor: Parece que no logro superar mi miedo al dolor cada vez que chequeo mi azúcar en sangre. ¿Me puede dar algún consejo para lograr que sea una experiencia menos dolorosa?

Sin embargo, la buena noticia es que, ciertamente, es posible superar tanto el miedo al dolor como el dolor en sí.
