Systematic desensitization is a technique where the individual is gradually exposed to anxiety-producing stimuli while in a relaxed state, with the assumption that it is impossible to experience both relaxation and anxiety at the same time. This is based on the theory of reciprocal inhibition, which suggests that relaxation and anxiety are incompatible responses.
