Week six. EXPOSURE!!!!

[Greta1074]

Well. It was a difficult one but I'm proud of myself. We went to a website and gradually looked at worlds then images of things we all hate. I can't believe what I managed to look at. It gets worse with sounds and videos. I just can't bring myself to imagine looking or hearing any of that. The photos were better than I expected. I was asked to look at the photos until my anxiety decreased. It did every time. I'm still reeking from what I saw. The images stick in my head. It's awful but not as awful as I thought it would be. Like I said I'm proud of myself.

So for the next week I have to keep looking at these images. Ewwwwww! The only good thing is the site was made by an emetophobic who recovered after 39 years. Like me, I have suffered for more than 30 years. The proof that this works is right there. We just have to hang in there. X
