ABSTRACT
As discussed in Chapter 3 (Figures 3.1–3.3), circuit 2 illustrated by the CCD is composed by the UAs that elicit safety behaviors, which produce ATs that generate emotional reactions that, in turn, confirm the behaviors (now, habitual) and the original UAs, closing a vicious circle. Level 2 of the CCD is demonstrated to the patient so that she readily accepts the use of restructuring and exposure techniques.
