Graded exposure is a treatment technique that used to reduce physical sensations of anxiety and discomfort. When working with animals and humans sometimes jumping right into treatments can create a reaction that is over emphasized compared to the stimulus.

Graded exposure is starting slowly, lightly and gradually increasing pressure to tolerance. Listen along on how important graded exposure is for outcomes.
