Starting Panic attack disorder therapy in Amherst

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 Amherst 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 Attack Therapy in Amherst, MA– Counselors and Therapists Who Can Help

Many people who experience excessive stress and feel like they are overwhelmed also experience several signs and symptoms of panic attacks. These symptoms include uncontrollable trembling, numbness, heavy breathing, dizziness, and nausea.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, the counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Amherst can help. You can set up an appointment by calling 413-634-4805.

What Can Cause a Panic Attack?

Panic attacks can occur at any age; however, the majority of people with panic disorder experience their first panic attack in early adulthood. And though people of all educational levels experience panic attacks, they are more likely to occur to people with above average intelligence. There are other factors influencing the frequency and severity of panic disorder including:

  • Chronic fears and phobias
  • A hyper-awareness of possible environmental hazards
  • Grieving and bereavement
  • Medical conditions and diseases
  • Environmental triggers associated with traumas
  • Significant and sudden life changes
  • A build-up of stress over an extended period of time

People who have experienced a panic attack know the negative impact that they can have on one’s life. The person suffering from panic attacks may find themselves avoiding certain situations or places because of fear that they may trigger a panic attack.  They can also become confused, disoriented and then embarrassed. If not treated, these feelings can intensify increasing the likelihood that a panic attack may recur.

Often, people experiencing symptoms of panic attacks visit the emergency room at a local hospital because of fear that they are suffering from an acute medical condition. However, they are often told that their symptoms are stress related and referred to a behavioral health professional such as those at Thriveworks-Amherst.
