How Bia Works

The science behind Bia

Built on evidence-based and proven approaches

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT helps you recognize the thought patterns that fuel anxiety. When you fear something, your brain jumps to worst-case scenarios. CBT teaches you to examine those thoughts, test them against reality, and replace catastrophic thinking with balanced ones.

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT shifts the goal from "eliminating" fear to processing it. Instead of fighting anxious thoughts, you learn to observe them without letting them dictate your behavior, building psychological flexibility so fear stops running your life.

ERP

Exposure and Response Prevention

ERP is the gold standard for phobias and OCD. You will learn about safety behaviors and how they maintain your phobia, and learn to eliminate them in small steps. Each time you sit with the discomfort and it passes, your brain learns the threat isn't real, and creates new physical connections that cause fear to fade over time.

The myths about exposure

You have to do something dangerous.

You will never be asked to do something dangerous. A phobia is when our fear response is disproportionate to the actual danger of a situation. Exposure helps us calibrate this response back to a level that does not impact our life.

The goal is to like the thing you're afraid of.

A phobia is when our fear response is disproportionate to the actual danger of a situation. Exposure helps us calibrate this response and that sometimes means going from significant distress to some distress.

Exposure only works for fears that can actually happen.

This is a common concern. Many people feel like their fears are unique and just won't work. In reality, because exposure is not about doing the fear, but instead processing the feeling, exposure works on all fears.

Meet Tim

Tim is terrified of an asteroid hitting Earth. He thinks about it every minute of every day. He repeats rituals to keep himself safe, he can't travel away from his family, and he's constantly scanning the sky.

Of course his exposure treatment does not involve hitting the earth with an asteroid. So what does it involve? He practices sitting with the discomfort of these thoughts. He practices not scanning the sky, and he practices going on small trips until he is able to comfortably live his life.

He never has to do anything dangerous. He does not have to love the idea of an asteroid hitting the earth. He learns how to process the discomfort of these scary thoughts and that gives Tim the skills he needs to live a full and complete life.
