Now that you’ve identified which of the situations you’ve been avoiding are important to you, let’s pick one to work on. It should be a situation that reflects your values. You are going to turn that avoidance situation into an exposure. “Expose myself to the very thing I’ve been avoiding?” you may say. “I could never do that.”

Don’t worry; you won’t be starting off on the high dive. You’ll begin at the shallow end of the pool.

Let’s look at the avoidance situation Alex chose: asking Ginelle out on a date. It was very important to him, and he rated it as a 10 in scariness (on a scale of 1 to 10). Exposing himself to that level of embarrassment seemed an impossible goal, certainly not something he could accomplish all at once. Alex put this new exposure situation at the top of his ladder, with rungs of smaller, less scary steps leading up to it. This is Alex’s exposure ladder.
