What is FearFighter?
FearFighter is an online method for delivering CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). The course of therapy is a treatment for patients suffering from panic/anxiety & phobia and can offer help where anxiety is comorbid with depression. It requires only one hour of support for a course of treatment. FearFighter helps sufferers to work out exactly what brings on their fear, thus they can learn how to face their fear until it subsides. This is called “exposure therapy”, i.e. facing fears for long enough to get used to them. It provides treatment with the same efficacy as existing CBT services and is a 9-Step practised-based self-help treatment system. During the 9 steps, FearFighter (FF) allows patients to identify specific problems and to develop realistic treatment goals.
