Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are sudden, intense episodes of fear that trigger severe physical and emotional symptoms. These attacks can be overwhelming and occur unexpectedly, often leading individuals to fear when the next one might happen. Panic attacks are linked to anxiety disorders, but they can also occur in response to stress, trauma, or phobias.
What do panic attacks feel like?
A panic attack can feel overwhelming and frightening, with a sense of losing control or impending doom. Physical symptoms may mimic serious health issues, leading to further anxiety and avoidance of certain places or activities.
How to overcome panic attacks with therapy
Therapy, especially CBT, helps you understand panic attacks, identify triggers, and develop coping strategies. Breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and gradual exposure to feared situations can reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks.
Through panic attack counselling, you can:
Understand the cycle of panic and anxiety
Learn techniques to calm your body and mind
Build confidence in managing symptoms
Reduce avoidance and regain daily functioning
Step-by-step guide to managing panic attacks
