Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains how attention to threat, avoidance, and safety behaviors maintain a vicious cycle of anxiety. It describes how these patterns prevent disconfirmation of catastrophic predictions and increase long-term distress. The resource outlines graded exposure as a method to reverse this cycle by gradually confronting feared situations to build confidence.
