Behavior therapists suggest that avoiding the ele- vator has been rewarded with the absence of anxiety and fear. Behavioral treatments would involve su- pervised and guided experience with riding eleva- tors until the ‘‘rewards’’ associated with avoidance of elevators have been ‘‘un-learned,’’ and the negative associations with riding in elevators has been ‘‘un- learned.’’ Patients are, thus, encouraged to sit with their fear and anxiety rather than give in to them.6 Although behavioral therapies are different from dis- order to disorder, a common thread is that behavioral therapists encourage patients to try new behaviors and not to allow negative ‘‘rewards’’ to dictate their actions.
