Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The practice of imagining feared situations while relaxed is a key component of systematic desensitization, a type of exposure therapy used to treat anxiety disorders. The other options do not involve this specific technique - In vivo exposure involves gradual exposure to feared situations in real life, biofeedback involves the use of electronic monitoring to help individuals gain control over bodily functions, and imaginal exposure involves revisiting traumatic events in one's imagination.
