EXPOSURE THERAPY
Exposure to avoided situations is the most effective way to overcome fear and discomfort. When we are uncomfortable in a situation in which there is no actual danger (for example, giving a speech), our discomfort declines over time as a natural process called habituation. Initially we are very uncomfortable in the situation, but this discomfort gradually decreases over time until we can be in the situation or do the activity without discomfort.
It is like being in a swimming pool of cold water, if you stay in the water long enough your physiology adjusts and the water no longer feels cold and uncomfortable even though the temperature of the water hasn't changed.

This therapy is done gently and systematically addressing the "easier" fears first then progressing to the more difficult situations. We work our way creatively through the process ONE STEP AT A TIME and at your pace.
Exposure Therapy is effective in treating anxiety-based disorders such as Panic Attacks, PTSD, Phobias, Social Anxiety, and Agoraphobia.
