Explanation:

In psychotherapy, exposure therapy is a technique to treat anxiety disorders. It consists in exposing the patient to the anxiety source or its context without the intention to cause any danger to the patient. By subsequent exposures to this sources of anxiety, the anxiety is slowly removed.

In this example, Rebecca is afraid of water, so her therapist gets her to swim in the family's backyard pool three times a day for two consecutive weeks. We can see that Rebecca is being exposed to water but in a safe way (the family pool) and she will be swimming there for 2 weeks, therefore she is being exposed to the water in a safe environment on a regular basis. Therefore, this approach best illustrates exposure therapy.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
