CBT (Cognitive Behaviour therapy) for the OCD and PTSD affected people.

People with OCD who fear dirt and germs are encouraged to get their hands dirty and wait certain increasing amounts of time before washing them. The therapist helps the person face with the anxiety that waiting produces; after the exercise has been repeated several times, the anxiety reduces. People with social phobia may be encouraged to spend time in feared social situations without giving in to the temptation to flee and to make small social blunders and observe how people respond to them. Since the response is usually far less harsh than the person fears, these anxieties are lessened. People with PTSD may be supported through recalling their traumatic event in a safe situation, which helps reduce the fear it produces. CBT therapists also teach deep breathing and other types of exercises to relieve anxiety and enhance relaxation.
