Affect Phobia Therapy is an integrative model of short-term dynamic psychotherapy developed by Harvard Medical School psychologist Leigh McCullough. Based on the premise that internal conflicts about feelings underlie many psychological disorders, this approach combines techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and experiential therapies to enhance the effectiveness of treatment.

The therapy focuses on addressing Affect Phobia, where individuals may unconsciously avoid emotions, leading to maladaptive behaviors. By employing techniques such as systematic desensitization, patients can learn to confront and process their feared emotions, ultimately promoting healthier emotional responses and improved psychological well-being.
