Matching Pairs Organizing a fear hierarchy exerciseOnline version Cassandra is afraid of dogs. She refuses to walk around the neighborhood without her husband for fear of being attacked by a dog. She tends to avoid places where there are dogs, such as parks or hiking trails (even though she used to enjoy hiking). She will cross the street if she sees someone walking with a dog and will refuse to enter a store if a dog is tied up out front. Help her organize a fear hierarchy, with 1 representing the least anxiety provoking situation. by Nikolai Stepanov 1 4. 2 7. 3 5. 4 10. 5 3. 6 2. 7 9. 8 1. 9 8. 10 6.
