What is another word for desensitisation?
Pronunciation: [diːsˌɛnsɪta͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Desensitisation refers to the process of making someone less sensitive or responsive to a particular stimulus. In psychology, this term is often used in reference to therapy for phobias or traumatic experiences. However, there are several synonyms for desensitisation that can also be used in these contexts. These include numbing, dulling, deadening, blunting, and insensitivity. Each of these terms describes a state of reduced sensitivity, whether physical or emotional. In therapy, desensitisation techniques may involve exposure to the feared stimulus in gradually increasing doses, aiming to reduce the intensity of the phobic response over time.
