What is Exposure Therapy?

  • Exposure therapy is a technique used to help manage anxiety disorders or general fears. Exposure therapy aims to face the patient with fear-related stimuli over time.

  • Gradually, after repetitive exposure to fear, the patient will become desensitised to it.

  • Along with anxiety, exposure therapy has been effective in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and different forms of phobias.

  • In vivo exposure requires a patient to face an object or stimuli of fear directly. In contrast, imaginal exposure requires a patient to imagine fear-related stimuli.

  • There are also instances where sensations are brought on in the patient to isolate certain feelings associated with the fear.

  • After undertaking a course of exposure therapy, patients can rationalise their fears better.

How can MAPP help?

  • Discussing fears and understanding how to approach them can be an uncomfortable prospect.

  • Here at MAPP Psychology, we acknowledge how challenging it is to face fear or phobias.

  • Whether you’re new to therapy or have existing experience with psychological intervention, MAPP Psychology can assure you of treatment in a supportive environment.

  • At MAPP Psychology, we want to equip you with tools to live a more positive life.

What results can you expect?

  • If you’re advised to undertake a programme of exposure therapy, you can be assured of the far-reaching benefits.

  • Any phobias you may have, fears surrounding concentration, or any behaviours you cannot seem to manage, can be alleviated with exposure therapy.

  • After taking exposure therapy, you will be able to manage your life better and live free of any unnecessary worries.

  • Your relationships will improve as a result of exposure therapy, as will the ways in which you deal with conflict or trauma.

The MAPP approach to therapy

Each of our psychologists is fully trained and qualified, bringing a wealth of experience to the table.

They take the time to really listen, getting to know you and what you're going through, so they can shape an approach that actually fits your life - not a generic one-size-fits-all model.

They will work with you to make practical real life changes that help you move into a happier, healthier place.

Couples therapy sessions are £195 with one of our fully qualified expert psychologists.
