In this session, Nina Josefowitz demonstrates exposure therapy for a fear of driving, starting with collaborative development of an anxiety hierarchy. Jessica identifies scenarios ranging from high anxiety, such as driving on the highway (100) or alone (95), to moderate (sitting as a passenger, 60) and low (looking at a car photo, 30). Josefowitz highlights the emotional impact of facing fears and explains gradual exposure techniques, starting with viewing car photos. By breaking avoidance patterns and tracking anxiety levels, Jessica begins confronting her fear in manageable steps. This structured approach strengthens the therapeutic relationship and builds resilience through incremental progress.
