Strategies for Enhancing Inhibitory Learning

Strategy	Description	Catch-Phrase
Expectancy violation	Design exposures to violate specific expectations	Test it Out
Deepened extinction	Present two cues during the same exposure after conducting initial extinction with at least one of them	Combine It
Reinforced extinction	Occasionally present the US during exposures	Face Your Fear
Variability	Vary stimuli and contexts	Vary It Up
Remove safety behaviors	Decrease the use of safety signals and behaviors	Throw It Out
Attentional focus	Maintain attention on the target CS during exposure	Stay With It
Affect labeling	Encourage the clients to describe their emotional experience during exposure	Talk It Out
Mental reinstatement/retrieval cues	Use a cue present during extinction or imaginally reinstate previous successful exposures	Bring It Back
