What can CBT therapy do for you:
-
A panic attack is an intense episode of overwhelming fear. Symptoms often include a racing heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and a feeling of impending doom. These episodes can be frightening and may lead individuals to avoid situations where they fear a panic attack might occur.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments and aims to stop panic attacks within 6-12 sessions.
Treatment focuses on helping you understand the root cause of your panic attacks and helps you overcome them quickly and practically.
