 four primary ways that exposure therapy may help:

  • Emotional processing. Exposure therapy helps you create realistic beliefs about a feared stimulus.
  • Extinction. Exposure therapy can help you unlearn negative associations with a feared object or situation.
  • Habituation. Repeated exposure to a feared stimulus over time helps decrease your reaction.
  • Self-efficacy. Exposure therapy helps show you that you’re able to overcome your fear and manage your anxiety.
]]> 2022-02-11 15:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/majabernacka/cyx1qjarzuob1mvf/wish/2042567715 Types of exposure therapy aishwariyaathevananth https://padlet.com/majabernacka/cyx1qjarzuob1mvf/wish/2042573886
  • In vivo exposure. It involves facing your fear in real life. For example, someone with arachnophobia may interact with a spider.
  • Imaginal exposure. A thing or situation is imagined vividly. For example, a person who’s afraid of birds might be asked to picture being on a beach filled with seagulls.
  • Virtual reality exposure. Virtual reality technology may be used in situations when it’s difficult to experience the cause of fear in reality. For example, somebody with a fear of flying may use a flight simulator.
  • Interoceptive exposure. This type of exposure triggers a physical sensation to show that it’s harmless, even if it’s feared. For example, somebody who’s afraid of lightheadedness because they think it means they’re having a stroke may be instructed to stand up quickly.

  • Once the cause of your fear or anxiety has been identified, your therapist or psychologist will start the process by exposing you to the feared stimulus.
  • Often, they use a graded approach, where they start by exposing you to a mildly feared stimulus or a mild version of your stimulus.
  • Over time, your therapist will expose you to more feared stimuli in a safe environment.
  • The number of sessions and length of time your treatment will take depends on your progress.

    • For example, if you’re afraid of mice, the therapist might start by showing you pictures of mice during your first session. In the next session, they might bring a live mouse in a cage. In a third session, they might have you hold a mouse.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    The difference here would be that all the levels are addressed in a virtual experience whether AR or VR or MR - that way the user has the control knowing it is all a virtual reality, once they are fully comfortable with all the levels in the virtual reality they can then be ready to face their fear in person if they want to.

    Improperly trying to perform exposure therapy without help from a trained professional can lead to further trauma or fear. You shouldn’t try to treat a serious condition like PTSD yourself.


    You can incorporate aspects of exposure therapy into your daily life to help you overcome mild phobias.
