Answer to Question 1
C
Interoceptive exposure is used to desensitize patients to specific symptoms that they experience when anxious, such as tachycardia, blurred vision, and shortness of breath. After establishing a hierarchy of the symptoms, the patient does the things that cause him or her to experience extreme anxiety. These are then paired with a movement such as running in place or spinning around. This method has been proven successful with patients whose panic attacks seem spontaneous and unprovoked, which causes increased worry. However, it is not successful for agoraphobic patients.
