Alexis reports having what she describes as a “paralyzing fear of clowns.” When confronted about the fear, it is decided that flooding would be the best way to proceed. Flooding is defined as:
  1. Immersing the client in water to test the fear
  2. Providing stimuli in a confined area when the client is not allowed to leave
  3. Forgetting to allow the client to explain intermittent feelings
  4. Promoting forgetfulness of the inspired events
Explanation
Answer - B - To flood the senses is to give the client very little room to maneuver away from certain feelings. As it turns out, the client will come to recognize their conscious feelings surrounding any fears or anxieties. You wouldn’t encourage her to forget and intermittent feelings would be explored, if only to recognize a more present consciousness.
