What Are Exposure Tasks?

Exposure tasks are a critical component of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), especially when addressing anxiety disorders, phobias, and PTSD. The primary goal of exposure tasks is to help individuals gradually and safely confront their fears. Over time, this approach helps reduce anxiety and build confidence by demonstrating that the feared situation is less dangerous than it feels.

What You’ll Get:

✅ A shareable psychoeducation handout explaining exposure tasks in clear, client-friendly language

✅ Guidance on how to introduce and discuss exposure tasks in visits

✅ Ready-to-share material for client education or self-study

Perfect For:

✅ Brief therapy visits
