Therapy for Panic Attacks

It is scary and frustrating to think that your life may be interrupted out of nowhere with:

Intense fear,

shakiness or trembling,

dizziness or tunnel vision,

nausea or vomiting,

shortness of breath / hyperventilating ,

heart palpations or chest pain,

hot flashes, sweating, or clammy hands, 

a fear of being “crazy”, fear of heart attack, or fear of death.

Panic attacks are a severely frightening and painful type of anxiety. People with panic attacks oftentimes worry about the panic attacks occurring unexpectedly. 

Panic attacks are a unique problem. They feel mysterious- you may know what specifically triggers your panic or it may come on suddenly. 

These attacks are not dangerous; however, they are unlikely to resolve on their own and they may worsen without treatment. 

While a person can have panic attacks along with other forms of anxiety, the two problems are distinct. In fact, they are triggered by two different parts of the brain. It is no wonder that panic attacks and other forms of anxiety require different treatment approaches. 

The good news is, there are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are effective in addressing panic attacks. At Pro Therapy Center, we don’t lump all forms of anxiety together and treat them with a “one size fits all” approach. We provide specialized care that is tailored to the unique needs and experiences of the person.
