In addition to viewing interoceptive
exposure as a means of desensitizing patients, it
may also serve the function of providing them with
experiences that can correct their conceptualization
of panic as “coming out of the blue” and being
uncontrollable.Moreover,with the use of slow, deep
breathing and/or applied relaxation, patients can
also learn that they can reduce these symptoms. To
the extent that there is agoraphobic avoidance,
graduated exposure is used as well, the goal being
to encourage such avoided behaviors as traveling, the
use of public transportation, being away fromhome,
or being alone.
