Anxiety isn’t a character flaw — it’s an old survival system doing its job a little too well. This guide walks through how irrational fear develops, and how Exposure Therapy — the most empirically supported behavioral treatment for anxiety — helps you retrain your nervous system, challenge the beliefs underneath the fear, and slowly expand the life you’re willing to live. It closes with a practical Exposure Therapy Strategy Worksheet you can use with your therapist.
Exposure Therapy works best with the guidance of a trained therapist who can help you build a safe, gradual plan. If anxiety or irrational fear is narrowing your life, I work with clients in Houston and across Texas to do exactly this kind of work.
