Exposure Therapy worksheets
The behavioral spine of treatment for anxiety, panic, OCD, and PTSD.
Exposure therapy works by systematically helping a person re-encounter feared situations, memories, or sensations under conditions that allow new learning to take place.
It is the most empirically supported component across all anxiety disorders.
