Problem:   I just had something terrible happen during an exposure practice (for 
example, my boss criticized my presentation). How can I ever try expo -
sure again?
Solutions:   Although rare, it is possible that an unexpected negative event will 
occur during an exposure practice. For example, you could experience 
a bad panic attack during a job interview, or you may be laughed at 
during a presentation. If something bad does happen during an expo -
sure practice, it’s natural for some of your fear to return. It may be 
helpful to “rethink” the meaning of the negative event using the cogni -
tive techniques described in chapter 6. In addition, we recommend that 
you resume your exposure practices. If necessary, you can return to a 
previous item in your hierarchy and work your way back to where you 
were when the unfortunate incident took place.
