Systematic Desensitization

Another method that is used in the treatment of a phobia is systematic desensitization, a process in which the patients seeking help slowly become accustomed to their phobia, and ultimately overcome it. For example, a woman who is afraid of snakes could start the process by looking at pictures of snakes, transition to videos of snakes, then possibly to seeing snakes in a cage, touching the snake, and then finally being able to hold it without fear. ^[1]
