Question 10

Zara is terrified of flying, and avoiding flights is starting to impact her career. Her therapist suggests a treatment where she will learn deep relaxation techniques and then construct an anxiety hierarchy, gradually working her way up to taking a short flight.

Leo has an intense phobia of dogs. His therapist suggests a treatment where he is placed in a room with a dog for an extended period without the opportunity to escape, until his anxiety levels eventually peak and subside.

Discuss behavioural treatments for phobias. Refer to Zara and Leo in your answer.
