Starting Panic attack disorder therapy

What is panic attack disorder therapy?

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 Cedar Park 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.

How does panic attack disorder therapy work?

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.

Is panic attack disorder therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does panic attack disorder therapy last?

Panic attack disorder therapy may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.

Panic Attacks in Cedar Park, TX—Therapy and Counseling for a Panic Disorder

Panic disorders are responsive to certain psychological interventions that may allow people to live free from panic attacks. Under the guidance of a skilled and caring therapist, many people can examine and resolve anything that may be causing the panic attacks.

Thriveworks Cedar Park treats panic disorders because we want to see our clients living their life without fear and without panic attacks. We offer holistic treatment that may combine cognitive behavior therapy, medication, and/or exposure therapy so that our clients have the best chance of overcoming a panic disorder.

Criteria for Diagnosing a Panic Disorder

Suffering from panic attacks is a serious mental health challenge. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) acknowledges the challenge when it gives the following criteria for panic disorders (DSM-5 300.01 [F41.0]):

  • When people experience two or more panic attacks that involve an intense and growing anxiety, fear, and discomfort for a few minutes that then abates. To be labeled a panic attack, a minimum of four of the symptoms that follow must be present:
    • Feeling suffocated or shortness of breath
    • Fear of going crazy or losing control
    • Hot flashes or chills
    • Sweating excessively
    • Nausea and/or abdominal pain
    • Dizziness and/or faintness
    • Fear of dying
    • Pain and/or tightness in the chest
    • Palpitations or escalated heart rate
    • Shaking or convulsions
    • Numbed or tingling sensations
    • Detachment or depersonalization from oneself
  • After the attack(s), developing one or both of the following behaviors for a minimum of one month:
    • Acute worry that a panic attack and/or similar health problem will reoccur (e.g., a stroke).
    • Changing one’s activities and daily habits in response to the panic attacks and in an attempt to decrease or avoid them.

People who suffer from a panic disorder usually have their first panic attack when they are young adults, in their 20s and 30s. Young children and older adults, however, have been diagnosed with panic disorder, although these cases are rare.

Panic Disorder Interventions

Psychological interventions are available that are effective for panic disorder. Panic attacks have been responsive to several therapies, and often, these therapies can be combined to form an even better treatment plan:

  • Exposure therapy: Within a safe place and with a certified therapist, people can be exposed to the feelings and sensations of panic in order to accept them and to learn how to respond to them. As people build coping skills, their fear may subside and the panic attacks may subside as well.
  • Medication: Antidepressants and benzodiazepines can be combined with exposure therapy or cognitive behavior therapy and may make these treatments more effective. These medications cannot build coping skills or resolve foundational causes, but they can relieve symptoms so that people can focus on these instead of focusing on the panic attacks.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy: This therapy aims to treat foundational causes of the panic attacks. If a past trauma or if a negative thinking pattern is contributing to the panic disorder, cognitive behavior therapy will explore it and resolve it. A skilled therapist can also teach clients healthy emotional processing to replace the negative thinking patterns.

Ashley Collins is incredible. I recommend her to everyone. Her knowledge of how the human brain works regarding anxiety is brilliant. I've been seeing her monthly for almost 3 years and want to continue for the rest of my life. She's taught me how to recognize my anxiety and work inside it to manage, cope, and lesson the occurrence. I'm genuinely so happy and grateful to have found her.

I really enjoy my therapist. She's really informative and she listens to everything I need to talk about. I think I need to be open more to my own self or pass problems, but anything that I've asked to talk about. She's always tried to find ways to find a solution or, find a way to help me let go of the things that trouble me. By the way, her name is Danyel.
