What are dendrophobia treatments?
Exposure therapy is one of the main treatments for dendrophobia. During exposure therapy, your mental health professional exposes you to situations and images that may trigger your symptoms. They gradually help you manage your response. As many as 9 in 10 people with specific phobias see their symptoms improve after getting this type of psychotherapy (talk therapy).
During exposure therapy, you:
- Learn breathing and relaxation techniques to use before and during an exposure.
- View images or videos of trees.
- Gradually progress to imagining being beneath a tree in a garden, park or forest.
- Finally, look at or walk near a real tree outside.
