Graduated exposure
Definition
Gradually bringing a person into contact with a feared stimulus in small steps, from least to most fear-provoking, moving on only when the current step is tolerated.
Example from a session
A child afraid of dogs first looks at dog pictures, then watches a dog across the park, then stands near a calm dog.
