When you are facing anxiety, one important technique is exposure therapy (facing fears). The goal of the fear ladder is to determine a hierarchy of “steps” that will help you work towards conquering these fears. You'll create your first Fear Ladder, step-by-step in Session 6, and after that you can create more from the Dashboard.
Note
Completing Session 6 unlocks the Fear Ladder exercise.
-
On the Dashboard screen, select Fear Ladder.
-
Select the New Fear Ladder button.
-
On the Theme and Goal page, enter an Anxiety Theme and a Goal related to the theme that you want to work towards. Then select Continue.
-
On the Creating Steps page, think of 6 to 10 steps you could take towards your goal, and select the Add a Step button to add each step to your fear ladder. For each step, use the slider to assign a fear level to each step.
-
When you are done creating steps, select Submit.
