Systematic Desensitization. Systematic desensitization is a type of behavioral therapy based on the principle of classical conditioning. It was developed by Wolpe during the 1950s. This therapy aims to remove the fear response of a phobia, and substitute a relaxation response to the conditional stimulus gradually using counter conditioning.
Conduct your first systematic desensitization session. Begin by using your prefered method of relaxation to induce a very relaxed state. Once you are relaxed, introduce the first item or scenario that causes anxiety or fear, e.g., thinking about wasps and bees.
