Exposure – Coping Skills

When you first start on exposure work it can be helpful to adopt a range of coping skills. These are little crutches that help you through the challenges, and that you know you will eventually do without. They are very similar to safety behaviours (Chapter 18) but they are aimed at helping you get through your goals and you will drop them as soon as you can.

We have some suggestions for coping skills that have worked well for other people over the years, but anything that works for you is fine. There are only two considerations:

1. It mustn’t be damaging (such as using alcohol to get through).

2. It mustn’t feed into your Anxiety (such as saying a prayer if you have compulsive thoughts around prayer).
