ELI5 mode

Exposure therapy is a behavioral treatment technique that systematically confronts individuals with their fears or traumatic memories in a safe, controlled environment to diminish their emotional impact over time. It works by helping the brain habituate to these triggers, often proving highly effective for anxiety disorders like phobias and PTSD in modern clinical settings.
