Imaginal Exposure

Imaginal Exposure is a therapeutic technique within trauma-focused psychotherapy that involves the guided, repeated mental confrontation with traumatic memories or feared but safe situations in the absence of actual danger, distinguishing it from in vivo exposure by its reliance on internal imagery rather than real-world stimuli to facilitate emotional processing and habituation.
