A Fear Ladder is a list of things that provoke fear or discomfort and situations you’d typically try to steer clear of. This list acts as a roadmap, helping determine what you should gradually confront and when you need help in conquering your fears.
When building a fear ladder and listing situations, places, or things that scare you and ranking them from the least scary to the scariest, you can create different fear ladders with lots of different steps for each of your goals (like talking to a classmate or doing a presentation).
