Good luck and keep us posted

I'm with you on that, Jordo. Although there is lots of evidence that flooding (sudden and complete exposure) works just as well or better than gradual.

The nice thing about Spohn's arrangement is he can immediately try again if he spins out. No time for anxiety to really take hold and produce avoidance that way.

To the best of my knowledge, flooding is more likely to result in a panic attack than anything but I'll take your word on it.

I vote for the track.

Well, there's a lot of prep and it helps to have a trained professional there. But going to the track and trying little by little still creates the exposure effect. Having support during those runs would help a lot, too.
