It’s tempting to avoid what makes us anxious. But avoidance is what teaches the brain “this really is dangerous.” Exposure therapy turns that perception around. Here’s a refresher from my article about effective exposure therapy

Most people don’t expect their first therapy session to feel disappointing.
But it often does.
You go in with something that’s really bothering you, but end up talking about everything else.
Questionnaires. Questions about your background. Checklists. Formulations. Worksheets.

There are a few good guides to MOL for therapists, but not many for clients. What should you expect?
I wrote a simple, honest introduction to MOL Therapy for clients, so you have a clearer sense of what your first session might feel like.

Experiencing anxiety when doing something new or returning to activities not engaged in for a while is a completely natural and even desirable response. It's not a sign of illness, syndrome, or disorder.
