State
Systematic desensitization treats phobia by pairing relaxation with a graduated hierarchy of feared stimuli.
Show
A person afraid of flying works from photographs to airports to short flights, relaxed at each step before advancing.
Watch for
Advancing before the current step is comfortable undermines the method. Pace is part of the treatment.
