Research has shown that one of the most effective ways to treat anxiety is what is called desensitization or exposure therapy. Simply stated this simply means that you overcome your fear by first of all clarifying what you are afraid of and then design a program with your psychologist to do establish a list of steps to overcome your fear. For example, let's suppose that you were in a severe car wreck and as a result have a great deal of fear about driving. This is not an uncommon response. |
