This worksheet supports exposure work when real-life exposure isn’t possible, safe, or practical. Clients choose one fear scenario, complete preparation prompts (sensations, images, meanings), and then write an exposure script in vivid, present-tense detail. They practice reading or listening to the script while tracking anxiety over time, learning that anxiety can rise and fall without avoidance, reassurance, or other neutralizing behaviors. Ideal for structured imaginal exposure homework and session planning.

Best for

• Exposure therapy for feared scenarios and “what if” fears

• Clients who benefit from structured, step-by-step guidance

• Reducing reassurance-seeking and neutralizing in anxiety
