Exposure-Related Skills & Activities

Behavioral experiments are like becoming a scientist of your own life, testing your anxious beliefs and assumptions through real-world activities to discover whether your fears match reality, leading to more confident and evidence-based living.

A fear ladder, also called exposure hierarchy, is a step-by-step approach that helps you gradually face your fears in a structured, manageable way, allowing you to build confidence and reduce anxiety by starting with easier challenges and working up to more difficult ones over time.

A gamified skill practice challenge organizes anxiety-management techniques into progressive, game-like levels with tracking, rewards, and incremental challenges, building emotional regulation skills through engaging 5-10 minute daily practices.

Reducing avoidance behaviors involves systematically confronting situations you typically avoid due to anxiety, using gradual exposure to break the cycle that maintains and worsens fear. This evidence-based approach retrains your brain to respond more adaptively to perceived threats, building lasting confidence and emotional resilience.
