Abstract

Asthma is a major chronic health problem affecting over 300 million individuals worldwide. Asthma and anxiety are highly comorbid, causing reciprocal poorer outcomes in illness management and treatment. This chapter explores basic information about the asthma disease process, comorbid psychological presentations, disease management and medication interactions, symptom differentiation, and important considerations for therapists treating a patient with asthma. The chapter additionally reviews how exposure-based therapies can be safely and effectively harnessed to help alleviate both psychological and physical suffering in patients with asthma. Presentations illustrate how brief exposure-based interventions can be used in both outpatient and medical inpatient settings. Finally, specific exposure ideas, as well as traditional exposures, contraindicated for patients with asthma are provided.
