When one goal brings several situations you avoid, it can be hard to see how they relate or what you want to discuss with a professional. The Fear Ladder Workbook gives you paper forms to name one specific goal, list ten situations, and estimate anticipated distress on a personal 0-100 scale. You add your own anchor words, because these ratings are subjective and have no universal bands.
The 32-page pack has eight PDFs: a two-page Start Here file, 16 worksheet pages, four trackers, two quick-reference pages, a three-page reading guide, a three-page professional guide, a cover, and a credits page. The worksheets include three ladder formats, prediction and review pages, and professional-prep prompts. Trackers provide a practice log, rating history chart, weekly review, and monthly re-sort. The quick-reference file has the six-step method and cut-out cards. All files come in A4 and US Letter, with nine pages marked for reprinting.
Use the suggested six-week paperwork path at your own pace: set a goal, list and rate situations, sort a ladder, and record notes or predictions as relevant. The path is a suggestion for organizing paperwork, not a treatment schedule; the ladder does not assign steps or tell you to attempt an exposure. You finish with a dated record of your own ratings and reflections that you can bring to a qualified professional.
What you get
