What Are the Steps Involved in Exposure Therapy for Cancer Patients?
The process typically starts with an assessment to identify the specific fears and anxieties the patient is experiencing. The therapist then works with the patient to develop a hierarchy of fears, starting with the least distressing and gradually working up to the most distressing. The patient is then gradually exposed to these fears in a controlled manner, using techniques such as [cognitive-behavioral therapy](href) (CBT), relaxation exercises, and mindfulness.
