Panic Attack therapy can help you take back your life whether that’s online therapy (also known as virtual sessions or telehealth) or in person sessions in Colchester, CT at the office.
Do you experience a sudden onset of chest tightness and shortness of breath (that is not related to a medical condition)? Perhaps your heart races faster and faster. Do you suddenly feel a sense of impending fear and you just want to escape? Your hands and legs may even start to shake. You start to avoid certain activities in your life due to the fear of having a panic attack out of the blue. Once you experience a panic attack, you start to feel fearful for when the next one may happen increasing your anxiety overall. Panic attacks symptoms are also similar to medical symptoms, so it is important to speak to your primary care physicians if you are not sure what is triggering them and to rule out anything medical.

Colchester Therapist - How Does Counseling Help with Panic Attacks?
You have had enough of experiencing panic attacks. You decide to Google Online Therapy Connecticut or Therapy in Lebanon. Psychotherapy, otherwise known as talk therapy, can be helpful in reducing the intensity, duration, and frequency of panic attacks. A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness can help identify and challenge triggers for panic attacks. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Mindfulness can also help to learn coping strategies when dealing with a trigger before a panic attack or helping to reduce a panic attack. Over time, triggers start to feel less intense and coping skills start to feel automatic.
What is Panic Attack Help Like?
I help adults who are struggling with panic attacks try to reduce the intensity, duration, and frequency of panic attacks. The first panic disorder therapy appointment is an intake appointment where I ask a lot of questions about your well-being and symptoms about your panic. Then, we discuss what you would like to get out of therapy, so we are both clear on what you want to work on and achieve. Some of the questions asked are: How would you know counseling helped? What would it look like or feel like to have less panic? Then we work on developing coping strategies to work on lessening symptoms of a panic attack.
