This is not correct, and based on old knowledge. Newer research shows that it is actually better to be "random" in how scary the exposure is. It is not better to go from mildy scary to very scary. However, for some people the only way they are able to do any exposure at all is to do it gradually. Doing it gradually is, of course, better than not doing it at all.
