Exposure for riding the subway alone


11 years ago 0 11213 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Do you struggle with anxiety? Today we will be looking at sample exposure plans to help you overcome your fears.

If you fear riding the subway…

•    Ride buses for 1 hour
•    Go to the entrance of the subway and watch people coming and going for 1 hour
•    Go to the entrance and walk down to the platform. Wait 5 minutes than go back up to the entrance.
 
Repeat for 1 hour.
•    Go to the platform and watch the subway come & go for ½ hour and then leave.
•    Go to the platform and watch the subway come & go for 1 hour and then leave. Repeat three times.
•    Get on the subway and ride for 1 stop. Get off and walk back to the first stop. Repeat twice.
•    Get on the subway and ride for 1 stop. Walk around and get on the opposite subway back to the original stop.
•    Gradually increase the number of stops, frequency and distance.

Is riding the subway a fear of yours? If so, tell us about it.
