We record the session and the homework is listening to it.

Part of Exposure therapy homework is actually that we

record the session, and the homework is listening to it

and just kind of closing out the world

and concentrating on that memory as if you're re-living it.

Because the idea is to let your body physically react

to the memory as if you were really there

and recounting it and re-living it so that you can

let the adrenaline surge and let your body react

and then come back down off of it so that you,

you're not living at that elevated state of anxiety anymore,

that you can, like a roller coaster, reach the peak

and then come back down, and everything will be OK, and

you'll be on solid ground, and your feet are firmly planted.
