Panic Attacks & Panic Disorder Therapy

Have you had a panic attack?

• “It felt like I was going to die”.

• “I thought I was having a heart attack”

• “I feared I was going crazy ”

Maybe you experienced a racing heart, sweating, trembling/shaking, chest pain/discomfort, nausea, chills or hot flashes, dizziness, etc. Once your doctor has ruled out a medical diagnosis, it’s a panic attack. While extremely unpleasant, panic attacks are not dangerous. Therapy can help reduce the intensity and frequency of your panic.

No Panic attack lasts forever.

It certainly may feel that way. It’s usually about 20-25 minutes maximum. Ironically, the more you embrace a panic attack, the quicker you’ll overcome it. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it works! Exposure & Response Prevention Therapy can help you ride the wave of panic and prevent intense future attacks. The only way out is through.
