Exposure therapy (desensitisation) involves gradually increasing the length of time you're exposed to your phobia.
For example, if you have agoraphobia (a fear of open spaces and public places), you might start by going outside your house for a very short period of time, before gradually increasing the length of time you spend outside and the distance you travel from your house.
Exposure therapy can be a very effective way of enabling you to cope with your anxiety.

- relaxation techniques – a series of physical exercises that may help you relax and control your breathing
