Exposure Practice Needs Timing and Data

Exposure work often depends on staying with feared cues long enough to learn that anxiety can rise, peak, and change without avoidance or compulsions. A timer with SUDS checkpoints gives clinicians and clients a structured record of what happened during practice.

Designed for ERP and Anxiety Sessions

Use the timer after planning a hierarchy item, defining the response prevention target, and agreeing on safety boundaries. Entries stay in the browser unless copied or exported. Clinical decisions about pacing, contraindications, and treatment fit remain with the treating clinician.

Therapist Guide to Exposure Timing

For a deeper guide to SUDS checkpoints, response prevention rules, learning notes, and exposure documentation, read the exposure timer with SUDS guide. It explains how to use timing data without letting the timer make clinical decisions.

Documentation Example

Therapist guided in-session exposure practice for checking-related OCD target. Client completed 12-minute exposure with response prevention rule of no rechecking. SUDS started at 55/100, peaked at 70/100, and ended at 42/100. Client identified feared prediction did not occur and homework was assigned with same response prevention rule.
