Exposure therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that involves systematically exposing individuals to their feared object or situation in a safe and controlled environment. The goal of exposure therapy is to help individuals gradually confront and overcome their fears, anxieties, or phobias by facing them head-on and learning to cope with them effectively. This therapy can be used to treat various anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health conditions. Exposure therapy is often effective in helping individuals break the cycle of avoidance and improve their overall quality of life.
