What is the Exposure Tracking Log?

The exposure tracking log worksheet is a table for recording repeated exposures rather than a single one. Each row holds the date, Intensity Levels Before and after on a one to ten scale, how long the exposure lasted, and a short reflection.

How to use the Exposure Tracking Log

Send it home as homework, since the log only works if it is filled immediately after each exposure rather than reconstructed later. Record Intensity Levels before and after every time, even when the exposure went badly, because the pattern across rows is the evidence and a single row is not. The Reflection Questions ask what the client noticed about their anxiety and what to change next. Your clients can bring the log to session and read the trend rather than the last entry.

One printable page. The table has six columns: the exposure exercise, date, intensity before, intensity after, length, and reflections. Five rows let a client log a run of attempts on one sheet. Below it sit the instructions and two reflection questions about what changed and what to do differently next time.
