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.
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.
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 may last for a variable amount of time, depending on the individual’s unique needs.
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.
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:
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:
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.
