| Description: | Learn the practical application of desensitization and counterconditioning techniques to treat fearful behaviors. This presentation focuses on mechanical skills, navigating potential speed bumps, tracking progress, and troubleshooting. We’ll examine definitions (what desensitization and counterconditioning are, and what they aren’t); the recipe for success (a crucial ingredient list); how operant learning fits into the equation (are we just changing “feelings” or are we affecting behaviors too?); and answers to clients’ most pressing questions (“So how long is this gonna take?). |
