Graded Exposure

Graded Exposure

Graded exposure is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach. It offers a structured method for confronting and reducing anxiety. This technique helps individuals face their fears gradually, leading to long-term relief.

Confronting Anxiety

Graded exposure addresses the issue of avoidance in anxiety disorders. By avoiding feared situations, individuals can sustain their anxiety. This approach provides a pathway to face and overcome these fears in a controlled way.

Step-by-Step Relief

Graded exposure in CBT involves gradually facing feared objects, activities, or situations. Starting with less challenging tasks and slowly moving to more difficult ones, individuals build confidence and resilience. This systematic approach helps in desensitising and ultimately overcoming anxiety triggers.
