Phobias are persistent, intense fears of specific situations or objects that trigger avoidance and interfere with daily functioning even when the threat is not real.
Phobia treatment works by using therapy techniques to gradually reduce avoidance, reframe fear responses, and build tolerance to the situations or objects driving your symptoms.
Avoidance decreases, fear responses ease, and the ability to engage with situations that previously interfered with daily life is gradually restored.
