The avoidance response can produce a kind of perception that does not need any preparation, so this will produce an unconditional response to the stimulation in some people. A conditioned response is seen when you watch the movie "Manhunt"; when you see the name of the movie, your conditioned response is to assume that this is a crime or thriller movie. Treatment by a psychologist helps you gain acceptance through habit and develop a normal conditioned response. A doctor will usually prescribe sedatives to their patients, so that the body of a patient who is seriously ill will not undergo strong stimulation and gain sensitivity, and this will prevent them from feeling the strong sense of disgust that they have toward society in their own inner world. When treating this kind of patient, a psychologist should not force them to perceive and accept things, or to receive provocation from others that they are not willing to accept. If you frequently get them to receive this kind of provocation and stimulation, they will develop a conditioned response.
This situation is seen in many broken marriages and families. As soon as a wife recalls the many disgusting things done by her husband, this will lead to the development of habitual responses, and these habitual responses will lead to feelings of disgust toward her husband. To treat the wife's psychological issues, the doctor's first step is to get her to accept mental training. This will soften the emphasis given to those habitual events to try to lower the intensity of her view towards a certain event and shift her concentration away so that she can let go of the conditioned stimuli that are affecting her view. Some examples include feeling disgusted when seeing a certain event, or immediately feeling fear after doing a certain action. The doctor should show her that the conditioned response is just a feeling in that moment. As I would argue that these feelings can be eliminated within 10 minutes, there is no need to cling onto these objects and events which provoke our mind and spirit. By doing so, we can better control these habitual responses.
