Desensitization is a therapeutic technique used to help individuals manage and overcome anxiety and fear-related issues. It involves gradually exposing the individual to the feared object or situation in a controlled and safe environment, leading to reduced anxiety and fear over time. This process helps individuals become desensitized to the feared stimulus and learn to cope with their anxiety responses. Desensitization is often used in the treatment of phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other anxiety disorders.
