This week, we talked about how to reflect on what you feel after completing exposure activities. Here are some summary points to keep in mind as you practice.

  1. Everyone has anxious thoughts. When we are anxious, we think that something bad will happen to us.
  2. There are two thinking errors that generally cause anxiety: 1) probability (overestimating how likely it is that an unpleasant event will happen) and 2) consequences (overestimating how bad it will be if the unpleasant event does happen).
  3. Working on your plan of action helps you put your anxious thoughts to the test.
  4. Reflecting after each exposure activity will help you face your fears and gain a new perspective on them.

Over the next week, make sure you remember to:

  1. Practice your plan of action.
  2. Fill in your Activity Log every time you complete an exposure activity and remember to reflect.
  3. If you feel ready, make a new plan of action by referring to Module 4.
