Desensitization Protocols

Desensitization protocols are therapeutic techniques used to reduce negative reactions to specific stimuli, such as fears or anxieties. The process involves gradually exposing a person to the source of their discomfort in a controlled and safe environment. This step-by-step approach helps individuals learn to manage their emotional responses more effectively. Over time, they become less sensitive to the trigger and can face it with reduced anxiety or fear. Desensitization is commonly used in treating phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other anxiety-related conditions.
