Suppose Goldberg were to seek treatment for her fear of flying. Her therapist would teach her how to deeply relax her muscles and also ask her to create a hierarchy regarding her fear of flying, from least fear-inducing (for example, picking a friend up at the airport) to most fear-inducing (e.g., landing in a plane during a severe thunderstorm).
