Are panic attacks disrupting your life and leaving you feeling overwhelmed and trapped? You don't have to face this challenge alone. I offer compassionate and evidence-based treatment for panic disorder, helping you break free from the grip of panic and embrace a life of calm and serenity.
I understand that panic disorder can be debilitating and affects each person differently. Therefore, I tailor your treatment to address your unique challenges and empower you to overcome panic attacks. My therapy approach includes:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective treatments for panic disorder. Through CBT, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to panic attacks. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, we can break the cycle of panic and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Relaxation Techniques and Mindfulness: Learning to manage stress and anxiety is essential for overcoming panic disorder. I will teach you relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices to promote a sense of calm and well-being.
Breathing Exercises: Proper breathing is crucial in managing panic attacks. We will work on breathing techniques to help you stay centered and reduce the intensity of panic symptoms.
Exposure Therapy: Gradual exposure to panic triggers, in a safe and controlled manner, helps desensitize your fear response. This therapeutic approach empowers you to face panic-inducing situations with confidence and poise.
Identifying Triggers and Underlying Factors: Understanding the triggers and underlying factors that contribute to panic attacks is a vital step in the recovery process. I will work with you to identify and address these issues in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
