What is the Communication Apprehension Lab?

The Communication Apprehension (CA) Lab is a 7 week desensitization lab where we help you to recognize sources of tension that lead to communication apprehension. McCrosky defines communication apprehension as, "anxiety associated with real or anticipated communication encounters." In the CA lab you learn how to help yourself recognize sources of tension or stress in your own body and how to control them. Since you can feel your communication apprehension when you are either in the situation or when you imagine the situation, it is not necessary for us to physically place you in various situations. As a result, we ask you to imagine yourself in various situations.
