What is progressive exposure therapy?

We know that everything good in life is about moderation. Balance. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

There are 2 types of exposure therapy and one is more suitable to help you manage your social anxiety.

✅️ Progressive exposure! Broken down even more, it's called "In vivo exposure"

This just means that you're literally taking baby steps to confront your fear in live situations.

‼️But it's with intention. I don't believe in just exposing yourself for the sake of it. You have to have a goal in mind, and to know how that particular step is going to move the needle on your anxiety.

We naturally tend to avoid what scares us. Or anything that reminds us of our past trauma. That's why progressive exposure is interesting because you're not flooding yourself to the point of having a panic attack.

It's a little bit of fear at a time which makes it more digestible.

➡️ The goal is to realize that we're safe. That nothing will happen to us if we feel the social anxiety.

This method is part of the CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) toolkit and while I'm not a therapist and have not done any formal therapy for it, I've been practicing exposure therapy for the past decade with amazing results if done frequently enough.
