Situational Exposure
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains graded exposure as a method for reducing anxiety by systematically facing feared situations. It guides clients in identifying avoidance triggers, rating distress levels on a 0-100 scale, and creating SMART goals broken into manageable steps. The resource includes an example of planning a visit to a pub to illustrate how to gradually increase challenge while building confidence.
