What would you be most likely to do?

Why safety behaviors keep the fear going?

Getting away, checking or asking someone makes the anxiety drop fast. That relief is what makes these habits so hard to break.

Your brain credits the safety behavior for keeping you safe, so it never finds out you could have coped without it.

Over time, buses, restaurants, parties or travel can start to feel off-limits. Exposure therapy helps you take them back, step by step.
