How Exposure Therapy Works
Here is what you would experience during exposure therapy:
– Your therapist will help you identify the cause of anxiety or fear
– You are exposed to the situation or stimulus
– A graded approach is typically taken. It means you may start with facing a stimulus with mild at first before increasing the level
– When you get used to it, you will be exposed to more feared situations or stimuli on safe conditions
Depending on the overall progress, the total length and number of sessions can vary. [3]
