How do I manage or treat chromophobia?

Some therapies, techniques and treatments can help people with color phobia manage their symptoms. These include:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to help you think about your fears differently, gain a new perspective and control your response to them.
• Exposure therapy, which gradually increases your contact with certain colors. Your healthcare provider may show you certain colors for a few seconds at a time to lower your sensitivity.
• Hypnotherapy, which uses guided relaxation while you’re in a hypnotic (calm and responsive) state. During this time, your mind is more open to thinking about fears in a different way.
• Psychotherapy, which allows you to talk about your fears and find strategies that can help you overcome them.
• Medications, which can treat panic attacks and help manage other mental health disorders. Your healthcare provider may recommend anti-anxiety medications or medications to treat depression.
• Relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and meditation, which can help you control anxiety. You may also benefit from yoga and mindfulness exercises.
