Period anxiety

Hi, looking for advice. Daughter has terrible fear of her periods. Not pain but fear of the sensations and the yuck of it and just can’t cope. Won’t leave house. Can anyone recommend a therapist or somewhere to get advice from someone who understands and can give her copying techniques for this particular fear, thank you

We have had success with Applied Behavior Therapy. Hiring a BCBA to prepare and implement a step by step plan to manage periods helps reduce anxiety as she learns to approach it in a methodical planned manner and experience the “rewards” as she becomes more proficient with the plan.

I'm quite curious what 'rewards' you're referring to? I'm not being funny, but quite literally, it is the most off-putting and inconveniencing biological drainage... LOL
