How to Face Your Fears With Exposure

Anxiety is the fear and nervousness of a perceived threat, most commonly anticipated in the future.
One way to face your fears and overcome your challenges is through the art of exposure.
While it's entirely reasonable for someone struggling with anxiety to seek safety in avoiding a situation they are fearful of, this approach denies them the chance to discover their resilience.
Instead, when attempting to manage anxiety, an important step involves confronting those feared situations, places or objects, and we refer to this as “exposure”
Exposure entails the intentional and incremental immersion into these anxiety-inducing situations. It's about acclimating yourself to them, thereby reducing the grip of anxiety while gradually expanding your comfort zone.
Crucially, it's important to stress that exposure should not be a daunting, all-or-nothing endeavour. Rather, it's a steady journey toward alleviating anxiety.
🪜 You can use a Fear and Exposure ladder to help us. betteryourlife.co.uk/pages/ho...
✅Start by creating a Fear list.
Start off with something that you are comfortable with and build up gradually until you can face your fear and anxiety.
✅Update the Fear and Exposure Ladder and mark your fear out of 10
✅ Begin exposing yourself to your fears
✅Practice regularly
✅Reward yourself for brave behaviour
✅Dont be discouraged if you have a blip
