Detailed explanation-1: -The process of systematic desensitization occurs in three steps. The first step is to identify the hierarchy of fears. The second step is to learn relaxation or coping techniques. Finally, the individual uses these techniques to manage their fear during a situation from the hierarchy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pioneered by Wolpe (1961), systematic desensitization was among the earliest behavioral treatments studies for PTSD. It involves pairing imaginal exposure with relaxation, so that the anxiety elicited by the confrontation with the feared stimuli is inhibited by relaxation.
