Anxiety, Worry, & Stress
Anxiety often creates a vicious, painful, and perpetuating cycle: anxious feels so aversive that we often avoid situations that make us nervous, or engage in rituals aimed at reducing distress. While these strategies make sense and offer instantaneous short-term relief, people often find that the more they avoid, the more their anxiety worsens over time.
Countless research studies have shown that exposure-based treatments, which involve taking strategic steps toward fears, instead of away, can offer long-term relief from anxiety.
