Exposure work


12 godina 0 20 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hello everyone,

I have a fear of having my blood pressure taken and going to the doctors.  I have reached the section on exposure work and I have a dilemma.  In the past I used to take my blood pressure whenever I felt stressed out or anxious.  This was my checking behaviour because it gave me some relief if it was within normal limits.  However if it was high it would make me more anxious.  I have tried taking my blood pressure repeatedly until I was tired of it and the anxiety around taking my blood pressure subsided.  However when I stopped taking it I developed anxiety because of the uncertainty of not knowing what it was.  I somehow need to reach a balance where it can be taken without fear but I also cant obsess about it.  Does anyone have any ideas how to tackle this?  

Thanks so much,
Adam
