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 Bethlehem 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.
At Thriveworks Bethlehem, our professionals tailor treatment to each client’s symptoms and needs, treating each individuals panic disorder symptoms individually.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) acknowledges the seriousness and severity of panic attacks and gives the diagnostics for when they have developed into panic disorder (DSM-5 300.01 [F41.0]). The signs and symptoms of panic disorder include:
A panic attack must involve a minimum of four of the following symptoms:
Diagnosing a panic disorder comes with an important caveat: the panic attacks cannot be attributable to another mental health disorder, physical health disorder, or medication/drug use.
Missing out of daily life is not a desirable treatment plan for panic disorders. Instead, what if people who suffered from panic attacks could go about their normal life but without the fear and without the panic? Skilled counselors can tailor a treatment plan that potentially diminishes the frequency and severity of panic attacks and may even eliminate them completely. Many effective treatments are available, and they can be combined to meet people’s specific needs.
Thriveworks Bethlehem has appointments available for panic attack disorder therapy. We want each client to find the right therapy that addresses their unique symptoms and needs.
Thriveworks Bethlehem is ready to help. Call today to work with a therapist or psychologist.
