EXPOSURE therapy NEAR irvine, ca

Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment that was developed to help people confront their fears. When people are fearful of something, they tend to avoid the feared objects, activities or situations. Although this avoidance might help reduce feelings of fear in the short term, over the long term it can reinforce and intensify the fear.. In such situations, a clinician might recommend a program of exposure therapy in order to help break the pattern of avoidance and fear. In this form of therapy, clinicians create a safe environment in which to “expose” individuals to the things they fear and avoid. The exposure to the feared objects, activities or situations in a safe environment helps reduce fear and decrease avoidance.
