What do u do to decrease the Anxiety after exposure
What do u do to decrease the Anxiety after exposure
I self soothe or distract myself
@Anonymous The goal of ERP is to sit with the anxiety and do nothing with it after an exposure. So trying to get rid of the anxiety defeats the purpose of the exposure
My girlfriend and my cats. I enjoy painting models so I often watch instructional videos. The idea of creating something I'm proud of helps soothe me.
