If getting depressed or if overthinking or if feeling shame or guilt predominantly

Helpful suggestions for what to do when doing exposures and not able to be mainly working with anxiety:

If I'm mostly feeling shame or guilt, try mindful self-compassion. Write out what I would say to someone else in my shoes. What would I want someone to say to me?

If getting depressed while doing exposures, try cognitive restructuring.

If getting depressed while doing obsessional exposures, switch to behavioral exposures.

If overthinking, then go to obsessional exposures. Just say the same sentence over and over again.
