Fear & Avoidance

Fear can limit everyday life in subtle ways. This scale helps explore the intensity and impact of specific fears, so we can better understand your experience and pace future work.

Phobias can limit life in small or big ways. This form helps us understand how much fear or avoidance you experience around specific situations or objects.

It’s a gentle way to map the intensity of fear and how much it affects daily life. You can complete it on your own or during our session — whichever feels most comfortable.
