1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:08,250
Practicing exposure therapy, wanting to face our fears is one thing, doing it is another, it helps

2
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:13,650
immensely to have a structured approach which CBT offers and exposure therapy.

3
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:16,890
Effective exposure is intentional.

4
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:23,940
We teach our brains a crucial lesson when we approach our fears on purpose rather than simply not running

5
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:26,750
away when we come into contact with them.

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,840
Incidentally, progressive.

7
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:37,080
We start with easier things and gradually move up to more challenging ones, prolong it.

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,050
We need to stay with our fears rather than fleeing in order to learn something new.

9
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:48,690
Repetitive, multiple confrontations with our fears can disarm them.
