Panic attack disorder therapy is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals suffering from recurrent and debilitating panic attacks. During therapy sessions, individuals work closely with trained Thriveworks Austin therapists to identify and understand the triggers and thought patterns that contribute to their panic attacks. Through panic attack disorder therapy, individuals learn to manage their anxiety, develop coping strategies, and regain control over their lives, ultimately leading to a reduction in the severity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy often utilizes cognitive-behavioral techniques like exposure therapy and relaxation exercises to help individuals manage and mitigate panic attacks. These methods involve desensitizing triggers, reducing physical and emotional symptoms, and challenging irrational thought patterns to empower individuals to recognize, control, and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
Panic attack disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Panic attack disorder therapy may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.
Panic attacks are extremely frightening. They can come on suddenly, with little warning and little chance for relief. They can also be embarrassing and prevent you from being able to function in daily life. You may become so consumed by trying to avoid a situation that could bring on a panic attack, you become fearful of leaving your house or being around others. This can affect your work, your family, your health, and your relationships.
You do not need to suffer alone. Thriveworks Austin counselors are ready and able to help you reclaim your life and find victory over your fears. Panic disorder is diagnosed by recurrent panic attacks, and also an overwhelming fear of future attacks. It is not known what causes panic disorder exactly, but we are aware of various factors that play a role. Past trauma, genetic predisposition, and major life stress can all be responsible for the onset of this disorder. However, there are very helpful treatments available, that we will specifically develop for each individual client.
