Dear ETC Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to join ETC Study #3 – Savoring Post-Exposure Pride to Enhance the Efficacy of Exposure, a new multi-site randomized trial within the Exposure Therapy Consortium.

Led by the ETC "Take Pride in Exposure" working group, this study will examine whether a brief, targeted intervention to enhance post-exposure pride—delivered immediately after virtual reality speech exposures—leads to greater reductions in public speaking anxiety compared to exposure alone. Learn more about the working group here: https://www.exposuretherapyinfo.org/r-wg/take-pride-in-exposure

The design closely mirrors ETC #2, ensuring methodological consistency and allowing sites that participated previously to leverage existing infrastructure. New sites are equally welcome to join. A pdf file on study details and demands are attached to this post for your information.

We aim to launch this study in October 2026 and would be delighted to have your site participate in this collaborative effort to advance the science of…

HI everyone, My name is Willy. I suffered from debilitating emetophobia for nearly 27 years. I spent several years going through treatment myself and now work full time on a tool that provides digitally guided exposure. We presented at NASP and ADAA this year and have a manuscript in review with initial anonymized data from over 650 individuals who have used our tool. We are a team of individuals with lived experience, clinicians, and researchers exploring opportunities to lower the barrier to starting exposure and improving efficacy and adherence. We are seeking collaborators. We have a base platform and a large and growing audience of individuals and providers using it for exposure. We are interested in not only ensuring its efficacy as we improve the tool but exploring new questions about exposure (for example, with emetophobia measuring the impact of diet on exposure treatment). My email is my profile here. Looking forward…
