Editing Pyrophobia (section)

==Treatment==
[[Exposure therapy]] is the most common way to treat pyrophobia. This method involves showing patients fires in order of increasing size, from a lit cigarette up to a stove or grill flame.

Another method of treatment is [[talk therapy]], in which a patient tells a therapist about the cause of this fear. This can calm the patient to make them less afraid of controlled fire.

People can relieve pyrophobia by interacting with other pyrophobes to share their experiences that caused fear. Alternatively, pyrophobia can be treated using [[hypnosis]].

Medication can also be used to treat pyrophobic people, although since it has side effects, the method is not highly recommended.
