Science-Based Tools for When You’re Stressed, Obsessed, or Overthinking | Dr. Jenny Taitz

Managing Intense Emotions through Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy can be an effective method for managing intense emotions and anxiety by confronting fears directly, allowing individuals to become desensitized to the associated bodily sensations. This approach shows promise across a range of situations, including public speaking, testing anxiety, and traditional panic attacks. The key lies in adopting a flexible mindset towards bodily sensations, recognizing their temporary nature, and fostering an outlook of hope and optimism. Practicing this method repeatedly can prepare individuals to face anxiety-inducing situations without being completely overwhelmed. The goal is not to fully eliminate distress but to create a more accepting relationship with these sensations, akin to preparing for a workout by welcoming, rather than avoiding, discomfort.
