Panic
Sudden waves of intense fear with a racing heart and breathlessness. Panic is frightening — and very treatable.
What it is
Panic attacks are sudden surges of intense fear accompanied by physical sensations such as a pounding heart, dizziness, breathlessness or a feeling of unreality. Panic disorder develops when fear of the next attack starts to shape daily life.
How CBT helps
CBT is the gold-standard treatment for panic. It helps you understand what is happening in your body during an attack, remove the catastrophic interpretations that fuel panic, and gradually rebuild confidence in your body's signals.
What therapy looks like
Sessions include education about the panic cycle, breathing and grounding strategies, and carefully paced exercises that reduce fear of physical sensations. Most people notice meaningful change within weeks.
When to seek help
If you have experienced repeated panic attacks, worry about when the next one will strike, or avoid places in case one happens, therapy can help you take your life back.
