Counter-conditioning
Counter-conditioning treatment which is done if the person is far too fearful to attempt flooding, then counter-conditioning can be an option.
The person is taught to use specific relaxation and visualisation techniques when experiencing phobia-related anxiety. The phobic trigger is slowly introduced, step-by-step, while the person concentrates on attaining physical and mental relaxation. Eventually, they can confront the source of their fear without feeling anxious. This is known as systematic desensitisation.
