Trypophobia Treatment

Trypophobia has not yet been added to the DSM-5 of mental disorders, perhaps because research data on this phobia and its potential underlying etiology are scarce. Trypophobia can be treated; whether it can be completely cured is another question. Treatment strategies may include:

·       Exposure Therapy to help you learn breathing and other techniques to use during a phobia attack.

·       Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to assist you in altering your perceptions and responses to trigger objects.

·       Relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and visualizing soothing images to help avoid or successfully manage the symptoms.

·       Talk therapy or psychotherapy has been found to help as many as 9 out of 10 individuals successfully overcome trypophobia.
