Exposure therapy

Exposure Therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that is commonly used to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This therapeutic approach involves gradually exposing individuals to the feared object or situation in a safe and controlled environment. The goal of Exposure Therapy is to help individuals confront their fears and anxieties, learn to manage their reactions, and ultimately reduce their overall distress and avoidance behaviors. Through repeated exposure to the source of their fear, individuals can experience a decrease in anxiety and an increased sense of control over their emotions.
