Systematic desensitization

Explanation:

Systematic desensitization is a technique used in the field of psychotherapy, within the set of cognitive-behavioral therapies, which has the purpose of gradually bringing the subject closer to the situations that cause a delayed exacerbation of behaviors with the aim of that the person can overcome what causes him. This type of technique is one of the most widely used in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is used to help people overcome anxiety disorders, specifically phobias.

The process of this type of technique consists of identifying what causes fear in the person and gradually exposing him to what causes fear, anxiety and related emotions. When the person is exposed and gradually sees that it does not cause any type of damage, it becomes more open and fear decreases. This process is also to eliminate the irrational beliefs that the person has, which were the ones that caused him to develop this type of emotion before any particular object or situation.
