Exposure therapy Often put fear on the heart of any person as a simple phobia or square phobia, but does it have to be terrible? Of course, you have to really face what you are afraid of, all the obvious reasons for your discomfort, panic and anxiety, but isn't that what you always wanted? Can you go out and face like a "normal person"? More importantly, are you making every effort to make the exposure as easy as possible? Do you know that it can even be fun?

We all know that there are fearless people who have apparently got rid of bad news and thrived because of pressure. They seem to be as tough as crocodiles. We know that some of the obvious strengths are due to culture, some are genetic, some are brain chemistry, some are brain structures [as discussed in the Anxiety 2 Calm blog] and some diets. But we also know that people can change themselves, which is amazing. No one is destined to live in fear forever. What does this have to do with exposure? Well, when you face anything that scares you, you have to face it! If you learn the skills of successful people, you will be more assured. Instead of seeing the life you have seen, see it as they see it.

Visualization.

Visualizaton has been used to relax. The swamp standard technology has always been a place to imagine yourself feeling comfortable, preferably on a tropical beach where you can feel the sun kissing your skin. This is a very effective form of relaxation, especially for those who are insomnia, but not particularly useful for exposure treatment. Yes, it lowers blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate and stress levels, but they rise again when you face terrible conditions. The location of the airport terminal, elevator or subway train can trigger the same old reaction.

But I still say visual work. It's not a type of beach that dreams of sun kissing, but a more realistic type. When you start to get in touch with treatment, forget to try to deceive your thoughts and think that it is lying on a tropical beach. This is not the case. Instead, imagine the real things you are dealing with. Let's take the elevator as an example. See yourself calm and relaxed in the elevator, think about the normal things people think of in the elevator: work, food, office politics, business, sex, family, etc. Includes a series of events, including accumulation, imagine yourself leaving the house, walking to your office, entering the building, going to the elevator, summoning it, waiting for the door to open, stepping on, choosing your floor, watching the door close, feeling the elevator going up, Follow the visualization until you leave the elevator and continue your day. Before you try this, please read the basic tips for success below.

1] It is very important to visualize through your own eyes, just as you actually do there. Don't look at yourself and see from yourself. Look down, look at your big belly or toes, see your hand press the button and look out in your own heart as if it is actually happening. If you see yourself doing this, as if you are watching a movie, your mind will see other people doing it, not you, it won't help.

2] Use all senses, including touch, smell and sound. Really make the experience lively and realistic, which will help you relax more when you actually exist, because you start to redefine your experience and connect it with a calm feeling. Imagine the ringtones of the phone, the background chatter, the smell of other users' perfume elevators, and the texture of the walls.

3] If you find the visualization difficult, don't worry, it will come. The key is to continue to work hard and really focus on feeling calm in these situations.

4] People often find it difficult to imagine feeling calm and happy in the case of fear. This is very common, very normal, nothing to worry about. The remedy for this is to break down the visualization into parts and focus on the easier parts until you stay calm and relaxed. This may take a few days. In the elevator example, you may first master the visual elevator. In the end, you will be able to imagine the whole experience.

5, when it feels good, go in real life! You may find that you have gained a sting from experience!
