Exposure for riding in elevators

Huh?  Where did this come from?  What's going on Red?  If you are not finding the Panic Center helpful any longer... of course, you can move on.  But your comments are hurtful, so I have to suspect that you are hurting.  (That is usually when we lash out at others).  Do you want to talk about the anxiety that is raising up for you... I mean specifically... not just generically?  Or am I just being dense about what is happening?  ???

At this point I don't think coming here is helping me...I have come as far as I can here..I came here to get well and I have..but 3 or 4 members in the group is just not enough to make it worth while...A lady always knows when to leave...

no, elevators aren't too bad for me, maybe a  level 3.  My biggest fears  dentists, flying, standing in long lines and being outside when it's really hot out.   jaybe

Members,

Do you struggle with anxiety? Today we will be looking at sample exposure plans to help you overcome your fears.

If you fear riding in elevators…

* Go to a building and watch the elevators for an hour
* Go up or down 1 floor with a safe person for ½ hour
* Go up or down 2 floors with a safe person for an hour
* Go up or down 3 or more floors with a safe person for an hour
* Travel up or down 1 floor by yourself for 1 hour
* Travel up or down 2 floors by yourself for 1 hour
* Travel up or down 3 floors by yourself for 1 hour
* Gradually travel up or down more floors for 1 hour
* Travel in a different elevator in the same building
* Travel in a different elevator in a different building
* Ride in several different elevators in several different buildings for an hour
 
Is riding in an elevator a big fear for you?
