if anyone knows a way to overcome this aversion, please feel free to share.
Giving blood helped me manage my fear of needles to a certain extent, but I'm still afraid of them.
Desensitization therapy works for a lot of phobias, fears, etc. Essentially, you're exposed to whatever it is you're afraid of starting in very small, short, mild ways with the support, help, and safety net of a therapist, and very gradually building up to being able to function normally when exposed to it full-on. The initial exposure might just be telling the therapist what you're afraid of, and that's it. No pictures, no descriptions, no actually seeing anything, not being near anything. This isn't fast or short therapy. It takes time, and you have to go at your own pace and absolutely trust your therapist.
Ask God to help.
God gave me a miracle I didn't ask for or even know I needed. When I had davinci robotic surgery, I found out in pre-op that I had to have
two IVs and I freaked out because of my fear of needles. The kind, awesome, world-class surgeon held me while the anesthesiologist started the first IV and put me under and then started the second IV. The last thing I remember was the stick. The next thing I knew I was in my hospital room and it was all over and I had no sense of the passage of time. Then I realized that this is what death must be like. Here, and then at the next instant at home with God. I'm horribly claustrophobic, cleithrophobic, and afraid of the dark, so getting buried after I died was always terrifying to me. Now, I no longer fear my body getting buried after I die and having the sensation of passing time. I can look forward to dying and going home, instead of dreading it because of the burial part.
GOD!!!
in Jesus' Name
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek

for
your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 6:8-34, KJV
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew 7:7-11, KJV
