Safety Behavior Reduction Habit
A safety behavior reduction habit drops one crutch per exposure rep—reassurance texts, escape planning—so you learn feared outcomes did not require the ritual.
A safety behavior reduction habit drops one crutch per exposure rep—extra soap, reassurance texts, silent escape route planning—so you learn the feared outcome did not need the ritual. List current safety moves honestly with your therapist; remove the easiest ten percent first.
Log anxiety peak and outcome anyway when the crutch is gone. Keeping phone in pocket during a party counts; white-knuckling alone in the bathroom does not.
Medical safety gear stays when clinically required.
Common questions
-
Which safety behaviors should I drop first?
Start with behaviors your therapist flags as maintenance factors—reassurance, avoidance subtlety—not legitimate medical protections. One small drop per successful exposure rep.
