Phobia
A phobia is an intense fear of an object or situation that negatively impacts a persons quality of life. Almost 10% of the worlds population suffers from phobia, making it one of the most common mental disorders1. Phobia is treatable, however, many individuals experience poor treatment or require multiple attempts to recover2.

Bia
Bia lowers the barrier to the path of recovery by providing a self-driven set of lessons and activities in a safe environment. Bia teaches you key concepts from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and applies those concepts in interactive exercises in a simple web tool that encourages regular practice, dynamically adapts to your input, and tracks overall progress. Bia measures progress by recording anxiety levels in response to triggers, and aims to reduce or eliminate your anxiety response.

If you are currently in therapy, Bia can be a great tool to help you apply your skills and track your progress. If you are considering therapy, Bia is a good place to start and learn what is possible.
