Explanation:

Systematic desensitization is a widely used technique in the treatment of anxiety disorders. It consists of the application of a hierarchy of stressful stimuli through visual images. That is, the patient and the therapist diagram a set of typical situations that the patient is afraid of, specifying as much detail as possible. Then, while the patient is in a deep state of relaxation, she guides him to imagine these dreaded scenes according to the degree of anxiety they cause him. Once the patient has been trained in relaxation, elaborated the anxiety hierarchy and evaluated the imaginative capacity of the patient, the patient learns a new association: what previously caused fear, now remains connected to a state of calm and tranquility induced by relaxation . This technique was developed by Joseph Wolpe in 1958 that aims to end both anxiety responses and avoidance behaviors typical of anxiety disorders.
