This strategy can be used when anxiety is at any level; but is particularly helpful when anxiety is very high. While typically metaphors for acceptance are utilized when this technique fails, here Dr. Abel will reinforce what the client experienced with metaphor. They will also discuss two types of panicking and differential treatment for them.
