The third part is the learning process, namely, the pairing of the feared stimulus with the relaxation response. Wolpe had his clients carry out the pairing in their imagination. Evidence supports the effectiveness of this treatment for fears and phobias, although the specific mechanism that leads to the fear reduction is not clear.
