What are dystychiphobia treatments?

Exposure therapy is one of the main dystychiphobia treatments. During exposure therapy, your mental health professional guides you to experience situations and images that may trigger symptoms. Most people with specific phobias see their symptoms improve after receiving exposure therapy.

During exposure therapy, you:

• Learn breathing and relaxation techniques to use before and during exposure.
• View images or videos of accidents or situations that may trigger the fear of accidents.
• Gradually progress to imagining situations where you fear an accident.
• Finally, engage in situations or activities, such as driving a car, that triggers the phobia.
