What are other dendrophobia solutions?
Other techniques to overcome dendrophobia include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps you learn to change how you see and respond to situations and objects that trigger symptoms. Many healthcare providers use CBT along with exposure therapy.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): This modified form of CBT teaches you how to live in the moment. It can help you cope with distress, maintain relationships with others and regulate emotions. You may have DBT in a group setting or one-on-one with a therapist.
- Hypnotherapy: Healthcare providers use guided relaxation techniques and focused attention to help alter your perception of trees. They can also use hypnotherapy to find the underlying cause of your tree anxiety.
- Medications: There isn’t a medication to treat dendrophobia. But some medications can help control panic attacks or treat mental health disorders. If you have depression or other mood disorders, talk to your healthcare provider about medications that might be right for you.
- Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR): This eight-week group program combines stress reduction and yoga. MBSR involves mindfulness meditation, which teaches you to relieve anxiety in the moment.
- Yoga and meditation: A regular yoga practice can help you relax and reduce your stress levels. Meditation can help you focus on your breathing to prevent panic attacks.
