Aversion therapy is a treatment technique for reducing or stopping undesirable behaviors by linking them with discomfort or negative consequences. The idea behind aversion therapy is to create a strong association between the behavior and an unpleasant experience, such as pain or discomfort, to discourage the behavior from happening again. For instance, this could involve pairing smoking or nail-biting with a mild electric shock or a bad taste. This approach is often used to treat various behavioral problems, addictions, and phobias by training individuals to avoid specific behaviors or situations that are harmful or undesirable.
