Why do I still feel anxious when I engage in exposures, even though I’ve been doing ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) for several months?

Remember that the goal of ERP is not to take away the anxiety, but to expose you to the anxiety, so you can learn to accept and cope with the discomfort.

Unfortunately, exposure practice doesn’t guarantee that you won’t ever have anxiety again, because at some point in life everyone encounters anxiety.

We know it’s not easy and the sense of danger can feel so intense. But you have made it this far, and you are not alone.

You’re on a journey. Journeys are nonlinear with lots of ups and downs, curves and swerves. Be sure to show yourself plenty of patience and compassion.
