Your Vulnerabilities Being
Your thoughts increase your emotional arousal.

Therapy can help you identify distorted thoughts that are contributing to the fear and vulnerability. Treatment will focus on exploring the reality of these thoughts and developing more balanced ways of thinking.
Therapy will also explore how avoidance is depriving you of experiences and counterintuitively increasing your anxiety level.
Treatment will focus on reducing avoidance through carefully increasing your exposure to the anxiety so that it is no longer worrisome.
