Desensitizing Anxiety Through Imperceptible Change: Feasibility Study on a Paradigm for Single-Session Exposure Therapy for Fear of Public Speaking

Desensitizing Anxiety Through Imperceptible Change: Feasibility Study on a Paradigm for Single-Session Exposure Therapy for Fear of Public Speaking

Exposure therapy (ET) for anxiety disorders (and other mental health conditions) involves the systematic desensitization over time of patients to feared stimuli or situations. For example, patients with fear of public speaking might be slowly introduced to situations of public speaking: in the first session, perhaps to a photograph of an audience, in the next to a video, and then gradually building toward speaking to a live audience. This has proven over several decades to be an effective therapy [1,2].
