What is systematic desensitisation?

Solution

Systematic desensitisation is a behavioral technique commonly used to treat fear, anxiety disorders and phobias. In this, the therapist relaxes the client and prepares a hierarchy of anxiety-provoking stimuli. The Client is interviewed to elicit fear-provoking situations.

Over session, the client is able to imagine more severe fear-provoking situations while maintaining the relaxation. So the client gets systematically desensitised to the fear.
