The current choice treatment is exposure treatment. This treatment is repeated exposure until the exposure no longer triggers fear. Patients begin with something simple such as a picture of what they fear and slowly work up to the actual thing. New technology now allows patience to use Virtual Reality in this process. It allows patients to be put in settings that would increase their anxiety without them actually being in the setting.
Cognitive Therapy is also used. This is the process of identifying anxious thoughts and replacing them with more realistic thoughts. For example: instead of thinking "that snake is going to kill me" think that "that snake is just going to slither by".
