Panic Attack Treatment
Understanding Panic Disorder
Panic Disorder is characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks—intense episodes of fear or discomfort that peak within minutes. These attacks can be accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and a sense of impending doom. Panic Disorder can significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life.
Approach to Treating Panic Disorder
I specialize in treating Panic Disorder using evidence-based treatments that have been proven to help individuals manage and reduce the frequency of panic attacks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a highly effective treatment for Panic Disorder. It involves:
Identifying and Challenging Negative Thoughts: Helping clients recognize and reframe irrational thoughts and beliefs that trigger panic attacks.
Exposure Techniques: Gradually exposing clients to feared sensations and situations in a controlled manner to reduce avoidance behaviors and desensitize them to panic triggers.
Developing Coping Strategies: Teaching clients practical skills to manage anxiety and prevent panic attacks, such as breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques.
