 Systematic desensitization is a type of behavioural therapy used in the field of psychology to help effectively overcome phobias and other anxiety disorders.  To begin the process of systematic desensitization, one must first be taught relaxation skills in order to extinguish fear and anxiety responses to specific phobias. Once the individual has been taught these skills, he or she must use them to react towards and overcome situations in an established hierarchy of fears.

 Behaviour contracts that describe appropriate replacement behaviour consequences and rewards can really help students succeed, eliminate problem behaviour and build a positive relationship.

 Assertion Training is something which we can all value from. Most of this site is concerned with ways whereby we can be facilitated in connecting more with our own inner resources. Assertiveness training differs from that in that it is a social skill and yet it is a very profound social skill which can be truly transformative.
