Starting Panic attack disorder therapy in Durham

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 Durham 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.

Panic Attack Disorder Therapy – Counselors and Coaches in Durham

Panic attacks and panic disorder can be very debilitating conditions for people who suffer from them. It can also be an awful, emotionally debilitating experience with potentially long-term consequences if untreated. But panic attack counseling and panic disorder therapy at Thriveworks Counseling in Durham, NC can frequently provide much-needed help for those afflicted.

What Is a Panic Attack? What Is Panic Disorder?

A panic episode usually begins abruptly, without warning, and peaks in about 10 minutes, but can last anywhere from a few minutes to a half-hour or longer. Panic attacks are characterized by:

  • Rapid heartbeat or heart-pounding
  • Excessive sweating
  • Trembling
  • Shortness of breath or the feeling of smothering.

Other symptoms can include chills, hot flashes, nausea, cramps, chest pain, tightness in the throat, trouble swallowing, and dizziness. Panic disorder, on the other hand, develops if the following symptoms are present, according to the DSM 5:

  • Repeated and unexpected panic attacks
  • Constant worry or concern about the attacks and their implications
  • Important and noticeable changes in behavior aimed at, for example, avoiding situations having to do with previous panic attacks

Significant consequences stemming from an untreated panic disorder can encompass withdrawing from social activities, persistent anxiety, unstable relationships with friends and family, and other serious hindrances. Yet panic attacks and panic disorder are treatable. Counseling for panic attacks and panic disorder therapy can help ease the severity of symptoms and reduce the number of attacks occurring.

Darryl is outstanding . I would have had great trouble getting through the issues I have had to overcome. He is kind, thoughtful, and has offered good ways to deal with my issues. I would highly recommend him as a therapist. I have fired quite a few over the years. He is definitely a two thumbs up.
