Exposure Therapy Has Increased Symptoms

Anthony, same goes then for other things, like how I had an unrealistic nightmare about my boss torturing me, and now I find I don't want to see him. So I should accept the irrational feelings as just that, and take care to actually go and see him and use the same techniques and realize that I can overcome the irrational fears. They usually have a small rational component or danger. For example, my supervisor could try to sabotage my career if he felt so inclinded. He has usually been helpful but he has a selfish side and would step on me to better himself for sure. But I needn't fear him, and he certainly would not torture me. So the fears are an Exaggeration of the real threat.

Yep... couldn't agree with you more, word for word. See the boss and confirm in your own brain, he is not going to torture you.
