Q1
A therapist used cognitive-behavioral intervention techniques with a client who avoids elevators due to thoughts like “If the doors close, I’ll suffocate.” Sessions focused on identifying cognitive distortions and generating evidence-based alternatives (“Elevators are ventilated; discomfort is not danger”). The client then practiced short elevator rides while repeating the alternative thought. Which interpretation best matches the cognitive component being targeted?
