Prepare questions about a feared situation

You want to discuss whether and how to work on a fear with a qualified professional.

Prepare for professional guidance

Try these steps

1. Describe the situation and how it affects daily life, sharing only the detail you choose.
2. Write what you want help deciding, including real-world risks, personal limits, and what support would be available.
3. Bring the questions to an appropriate professional before choosing a treatment plan; this card does not instruct you to confront the feared situation.

An example

I avoid an important appointment. I want help deciding what support and approach would fit the situation.

Reflect

Do the questions explain both your aim and your concerns?

Next time

Add any preferences about pace, consent, and how a plan would be reviewed.
