Some feared outcomes cannot be reproduced safely or meaningfully through real-life exposure alone. Imaginal exposure provides a way to work directly with the feared story, image or unresolved uncertainty that continues to drive OCD.
This specialist pack takes clinicians from deciding whether imaginal exposure is useful through target selection, script writing, recording, response prevention, repeated practice, review and integration with in-vivo ERP.
Clinician guidance + printable worksheets | Adults 18+

Clarify when imaginal work adds something that safe real-life exposure cannot fully reach.
Move beyond the surface trigger to identify the story, image, consequence or uncertainty that ERP needs to contact.
Step-by-step guidance for developing a focused script that captures the relevant feared meaning without unnecessary detail.
Practical guidance for recording scripts, agreeing practice parameters and making repetition clinically purposeful.
Identify reassurance, mental reviewing, neutralisation and other responses that can quietly turn imaginal exposure back into a ritual.
Review learning and connect work with the feared story back into situations, activities and ordinary life.

Clear guidance for selecting targets, writing scripts and using imaginal exposure as part of formulation-led ERP.

Script builders, recording plans, response-prevention planning and tools for integrating imaginal and real-life practice.

Printable resources and client guidance for preparing, using and reviewing imaginal exposure practice.
Who is it for?
Clinicians using ERP with clients whose feared outcomes, catastrophic stories, images or unresolved uncertainties are difficult to contact fully through safe in-vivo practice.
How is it designed to be used?
Use as a standalone specialist resource following appropriate assessment and formulation, or alongside Pack 2. It can also be paired with Pack 3 when mental rituals interfere with imaginal practice.
What will I receive?
A 48 page digital PDF containing clinician guidance, script-development tools, practice plans, client guidance and printable worksheets.
Professional use
Imaginal exposure should be individually formulated, collaboratively planned and used within the clinician’s competence. The pack supports clinical decision-making rather than prescribing one universal sequence or dose.
For individual clinician use. Team and organisational licences are also available -licensing options are provided at checkout.

A complete six-pack clinical resource for assessing OCD, planning and delivering ERP, addressing mental compulsions and imaginal exposure, reviewing progress and supporting clients between sessions.
