Congrats on doing some exposure work!

I work with a cbt guy on health and anxiety issues. The hardest thing for me too is the exposure exercises.

A good T will work with you to find a homework assignment that is challenging but not too overwhelming. I was afraid in the beginning that T would get mad at me if I didn't do the assignments perfectly-or at all. As long as you try, T will be supportive.

Even if you don't try, they will explore what happened. I'm finding the process kind of comforting, surprisingly.

It is important to let your T know what you are worried about, like being judged.

I think that any therapy just enhances the part of you that is happier and healthier, but it doesn't change your identity.
