This is basically the main tenant of cognitive behavioral therapy. Build up to the trigger over time and the response to it dissipates

No, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about matching your irrational fears against actual reality, finding more nuanced views of reality and developing realistic expectations. It isn't about explicitly searching for danger. There is a lot of stuff we fear that is actually dangerous, and we should respect it. Like wild animals, traffic, dark allies in poor neighbourhoods, etc...
