When It Is Used
Use it when exposure practice is framed as testing a feared prediction and consolidating learning from the prediction-outcome gap.
The Inhibitory Learning Exposure Worksheet is a two-phase worksheet for exposure therapy or ERP. Practitioners and clients use it to specify a feared outcome before exposure, compare it with what actually happened, and record the learning takeaway.

Use it when exposure practice is framed as testing a feared prediction and consolidating learning from the prediction-outcome gap.
Pre-exposure fields are completed before practice; post-exposure fields are completed after practice.
If the exposure is not completed, the pre-exposure plan remains incomplete and the tool does not request outcome conclusions.
The worksheet does not rank exposures, track SUDS, generate feared outcomes, infer therapeutic success, or create learning statements automatically.
The main output is a prediction-versus-outcome exposure record with a learning statement.
No. The worksheet requires the pre-exposure prediction structure before outcome review.
Safety behaviors are recorded descriptively for practitioner review; the system does not automatically classify the exposure as invalid.
No. It can inform future exposure design, but it does not generate or rank new exposure tasks.
