Exposure Therapy – Episode 8: Therapy Thursday Podcast with Chelsea Kuntz

November 21, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

In today’s episode of Therapy Thursday, Chelsea explains ‘exposure therapy’ and shares some ways its principles can be used in practices to help anxious patients.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • Exposure therapy
  • The 2 different outcomes of exposure to phobias for patients to choose from
  • How to use exposure therapy to help anxious patients
  • Immersion treatment

 

Quotes:

 

“The brain-body connection is important to keep in mind here.”

 

“We simply do not see our patients on a consistent enough basis to help them fully overcome their anxiety or phobia.”

 

“Start small and build up to longer or more complicated procedures.”

 

“We have to leave room for us to be humans, and an emergency appointment…might not go completely perfectly with someone who’s avoided dental treatment for 15 years.”

 

“Another pitfall to this strategy is that I regularly encounter patients who want to get as much treatment done as soon as possible.”

 

“A good way to frame that for the patient is that you really want to take care of them the best you can and you wouldn’t be providing them the proper care by completing the work quickly or ineffectively.”

 

“It is not your responsibility to treat this person’s phobia to resolution, it’s your job to provide this safe space.”
