Flooding is a behavioral treatment where a patient is exposed to a large amount of their feared object or situation all at once, without any gradual steps or relaxation techniques. In this case, Julie is being exposed to a room filled with caged birds, which is a form of flooding therapy since she is being exposed to her fear in a rapid and intense way.
