What are the different exposure techniques?
There are three techniques one might experience in exposure therapy: in vivo, imaginal and flooding. Exposure therapy is a subtype of cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT. In most cases, this type of therapy is used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it is also useful for other clinical subtypes of anxiety, particularly phobias. Exposure therapy is an essential component of evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) treatments for phobia, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. The most common treatment that includes exposure is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). A key element of CBT is talking about thoughts, fears, and feelings. I often find that simply talking through thoughts about a topic exposes people to their fears. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) includes an element of exposure therapy (desensitization), though whether this is an effective method or not, is controversial.
What are exposure techniques?
Exposure therapy is a technique used by therapists to help people overcome fears and anxieties by breaking the pattern of fear and avoidance. It works by exposing you to a stimulus that causes fear in a safe environment. For example, a person with social anxiety may avoid going to crowded areas or parties.

Exposure therapy is a behavior therapy technique for the treatment of fear and anxiety. Exposure therapy embodies the ‘face your fears’ maxim and involves encouraging clients to repeatedly face an object or situation which causes them anxiety. History of Exposure Therapy Exposure therapy originated from the work of behaviorists like Ivan Pavlov and John Watson in the early 1900s. Its roots trace back to principles of Pavlov’s classical conditioning.
What are the three main exposure controls?
A photograph’s exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it’s been captured by your camera. Believe it or not, this is determined by just three camera settings: aperture, ISO and shutter speed (the exposure triangle). The two most important exposure controls are the shutter speed and aperture because both affect the total amount of light reaching the image sensor. However, they do more than just control the exposure. What exactly is exposure control? Exposure control is the unique combination of certain factors — like aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, and exposure time — to create the desired result for exposure metering when capturing an image. The key thing to remember is that the three elements—aperture, shutter speed and ISO—are always linked. For photographers it’s a balancing act, and so we’re always adjusting the shutter speed and aperture for the right exposure and the effect we want.
