Interoceptive exposure

Interoceptive exposure is a cognitive behavioral therapy technique used in the treatment of panic disorder.[1] It refers to carrying out exercises that bring about the physical sensations of a panic attack, such as hyperventilation and high muscle tension, and can be contrasted with in vivo exposure, which exposes the person directly to a feared situation. Interoceptive exposure can be used as a means to induce depersonalization and derealization.[2]
