Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy is a technique used to help manage anxiety disorders or general fears. Exposure therapy aims to face the patient with fear-related stimuli over time. Gradually, after repetitive exposure to fear, the patient will become desensitised to it. Along with anxiety, exposure therapy has been effective in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and different forms of phobias.
There are various associated with exposure therapy. In vivo exposure requires a patient to face an object or stimuli of fear directly. In contrast, imaginal exposure requires a patient to imagine fear-related stimuli. There are also instances where sensations are brought on in the patient to isolate certain feelings associated with the fear. Virtual reality has also become a popular tool in exposure therapy. After undertaking a course of exposure therapy, patients can rationalise their fears better.

Our professional therapists will advise you on the treatment plans available. After initial assessment and consultation, you will receive a programme with your interests in mind.

If you are advised to undertake a programme of exposure therapy, you can be assured of the far-reaching benefits. It is also a treatment commonly integrated with other forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Facing fear is daunting, but at Psychology Scotland, we want to be with you every step of the way. After taking exposure therapy, you will be able to manage your life better and live free of any unnecessary worries. Your relationships will improve as a result of exposure therapy, as will the ways in which you deal with conflict or trauma.
