Last week we went over asking about our problem and trying to find a solution
We cant go to exposure therapy first, we have to establish the problem, the why and then start the conversation about exposure therapy
Exposure therapy Definition- psychological treatment that was designed to help people confront their fears, when people are fearful they tend to avoid, the feared objects. Although this avoidance might help reduce the fear, in the short term, over the long term it can make the fear become even worse
From PTSD guidelines
Steps how to administer
Make a list
Build a fear ladder (arrange the list from least scary to most scary)
Ex length of time, time of day, environment, who is with you
Facing fears, starting with the least fearful thing on the least
Practice
Reward brave behavior
Repeat, go to second fear etc
