1 Since only 6 percent of people affected with phobias admit to having a problem, the first step for the patient is to recognize that they need help.
2 One approach to treating Caligynephobia is through SYSTEMATIC DESENSITIZATION. As a treatment modality used in many mental diseases, the patient is gradually exposed to a beautiful woman, either in person or through photos or videos. When the patient reaches their maximum tolerance, the stimulus (e.g., the beautiful woman) is removed and the patient is allowed to relax.
3 During on-going sessions, the patient's exposure to a beautiful woman is increased, allowing the patient to break through a threshold. During each succeeding session, the patient's exposure is lengthened.
4 Another approach entails using "cognitive-behavioral treatment" whereby the patient learns to manage their thoughts and attitudes toward a woman that influences their motivations and behaviors. In essence, the patient learns to invite the feelings that make them feel fearful and anxious and then learn how to tolerate them.
5 Recently, the use of virtual reality in conjunction with real life situations has been applied to treating patients with Caligynephobia by allowing patients to safely explore the physical aspect of the disease without actually experiencing it.
I would call her to find out more detail in her reasons, but not knowing the MFC chat Archive system doesn't record #-series I regrettably didn't record her # in my phone when she gave it to me a week prior. :evil: She must have been weighing the decision for awhile prior to settling her choice & deleting her profile. She'll be missed!
