S ystematic desensitization refers to a type of behavioral therapy that works to extinguish fears or phobia by gradually increasing an individual's exposure to the phobia or fear. An individual with a fear or phobia is made to feel safe and taught relaxation techniques when he or she is gradually exposed to the fear or phobia. Ultimately, through s ystematic desensitization, people learn to stop having a fearful response to stimuli they were previously afraid of.
