Make copies of this worksheet so that you can use it for future situations or for developing several practice ladders dealing with different kinds of fears or anxieties. Remember, this is your stepping-toward-discomfort ladder, and it’s your road map to overcoming your avoidance and fear, one step at a time. Knowing where you’re going—where you’ll start and end—takes much of the uncertainty out of your practice. Less uncertainty means less anxiety.
