Experience Narrative:

I have to go to class with the person I don't like.

Belief to be tested:

I am going to be anxious and have a meltdown. Everyone there is going to judge me, call me weird and spread rumours about me. Belief: 99%

Alternative Perspective:

I'm going to be fine and not going to have a meltdown or panic attack. Belief: 1%

Safety Behaviours to drop:

Silently panicking, Not telling anyone about the situation, Telling my self that I won't be fine.

Client reflections:

When I go to the reset room everything feels better but when I come out, it all comes back to me like a big wave

Practitioner reflections:

It is a good experiment because I can practice asking the teacher to have a couple of minutes/ to go to the reset room.
