Situational Exposure
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains graded exposure as a method for reducing anxiety by systematically facing avoided situations. It guides clients in creating specific goals and breaking them down into manageable steps based on distress ratings, using variables like who, what, when, where, and how long. The resource includes an example of a hierarchical plan for social anxiety and defines PRAMS criteria for goal setting.
