Exposure Practice Log
A repeatable exposure tracking log for each practice on your fear ladder: the step you attempted, predicted versus actual distress, what you learned, and whether to repeat or climb.
Why log every practice
Exposure works through repetition, and a log is what turns each repetition into learning you can keep. The most useful comparison in anxiety work is written right here: what you predicted would happen, next to what actually happened. Anxiety is a dramatic forecaster. It predicts catastrophe with total confidence, and it never checks its own track record. This log is the record check - and watching your forecasts miss, week after week, is a large part of how fear loses its authority.
How to use this log
Fill in the first three sections just before you practice, while your prediction is honest. Complete the rest as soon as you finish, while the details are fresh. Use one log per practice, even when you repeat the same step. Expect repeats - they are the point. A step is done when it starts to feel almost boring, usually after several rounds. Ending with lower distress than your peak is a bonus, not a requirement; staying in the situation long enough to learn something new is what counts.
The step you practiced
Which rung of your ladder did you take on? Note when and where.
Your prediction
Before you begin: what exactly are you afraid will happen during this step? Name the worst moment you are bracing for, and how likely it feels right now, in percent.
Predicted distress
Still before you begin: how intense do you expect the anxiety to get during this step?
Peak distress
Now that you have finished: how intense did the anxiety actually get at its worst moment?
Distress at the end
How intense was the anxiety as you finished the step? However it compares with your peak, notice that you stayed.
Safety crutches check
Check anything you leaned on to get through. No shame here - crutches are simply what to set down on the next repeat, because they quietly teach your brain that the danger was real.
What you learned, and your next move
Put your prediction next to what actually happened, then make the call: repeat this step, adjust it, or climb to the next rung. Put the next practice on your calendar before you close this log.
