Abstract
The Heart Technique is claimed by its users and creator to be effective in overcoming specific phobias in just 20 to 30 minutes. This study aims to test the effectiveness of The Heart Technique in online settings toward specific phobias. The research used two-group pretest–posttest design in individual and group sessions. The participants were 130 people aged 18-58 years, domiciled in Indonesia, selected using purposive sampling. The measuring instruments are Subjective Unit of Distress (SUD) and Severity Measure For Specific Phobia-Adult. The results of the Mann Whitney-U analysis showed that there was a significant decrease in the measurement of the two measuring instruments (p<0.05). Although individual and group sessions were able to significantly reduce the severity of the phobia to a neutral or non-phobic category, this technique was more effective in individual sessions as seen from the Wilcoxon test (p<0.05). The results showed that The Heart Technique can be used as an alternative solution to overcome psychological problems, especially phobias.
