Secondhand research: One recommendation that stand out matched one of our user interview results, “self-consciousness as caused by fear of criticism”. We discovered an exposure therapy recommendation where people with anxiety must create a fear hierarchy list.
“Create an exposure hierarchy.”
An exposure hierarchy is a list — akin to a ladder — where you write down situations that cause you anxiety, in order of severity. Then you perform the easiest behavior, and keep moving up the list.
