(2) What are some cautions to consider when implementing behavioral exposure interventions?

Answer the following: (1) What was the client’s primary negative automatic thought (possible cognitive distortion?) in response to this event? (2) What was the client’s response to her associated automatic thoughts and physiological arousal (any safety behaviors?)?
