Treat Panic Disorders With Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Fearful experiences in some people create fight or flight symptoms. Continued exposures trigger these symptoms and for many these physical symptoms are quite exhausting. The symptoms get encoded through perception as a threat in its own right. Anticipation of dread of another attack lessens the quality of life as one escapes and avoids just for relief from symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy has been used to successfully treat panic disorder.
If you want to master panic symptoms, a suggestion of four important parts for freeing yourself from these restricting symptoms and regaining a better life:
- Educate yourself on the nature of panic - by doing so you will recognize how to control
- Using breathing techniques will reliably slow down fight or flight responses all over your body
- Cognitive restructuring – you must challenge the types of thoughts you think giving you incorrect permission to feel panicky and anxious
- Safe and controlled way of coping will involve exposing yourself to your most feared sensations.
There are many workbooks in the CBT field and I use several current ones in my practice.
