Exposure Hierarchy
Let’s use the example of fear of dogs:
- First, list the situations that cause you discomfort. Remember that the list should include concrete and varied facts.
- Once you have the list made, score on a scale of 0 to 100 the two situations on the list that lesser and greater discomfort provokes to you. Do not worry if you doubt or make any mistake, make changes as often as necessary and score all the other situations, one by one, depending on the subjective degree of discomfort that they generate to you.
- Finally, sort the list according to the score that you have assigned to each of its elements (from minor to major discomfort or score).
Congratulations, you already have your exposure hierarchy ready!
