Panic attacks are characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear, accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat, chest pains, tingling sensations in your body and difficulties breathing. With these symptoms, it is understandable that you might think you are having a heart attack and seek help at the emergency room.

Usually, it is not possible to predict when or where a panic attack will occur. Panic attacks are not dangerous but they are still extremely unpleasant experiences every time they happen. Some people experience feelings of unreality, depersonalization and fears of losing control or going crazy.

Our therapy for panic attacks is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn how your body’s physical symptoms interact with your negative thinking patterns and behaviors to create and maintain your panic. This can help you to identify and change the distorted thinking and de-dramatize your symptoms and panics. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually expose yourself to and remain in situations that usually induce your panic attacks. Over time, many people learn to reduce the intensity of panic symptoms and regain confidence in situations that previously triggered panic.

"so far, so good! My therapist seems empathetic, compassionate and is easy to share with.
The therapy is expensive, perhaps because my last therapy was "rent-controlled" ha ha.
But it's all relative. My mental health is worth the expense!"

"I really love the materials on the website - together with a great matched therapist, Christa, this gives me really good feeling about real progress, work I can do also by myself, it's a great value for money and in my first month I already see a lot of improvement in my well-being. Thank you!
The only issue are some technical problems of the website I had in the beginning - one session was suddenly changed from video to text, and another time my therapist didn't receive our appointment notification so basically I lost two sessions - the support was really great and understanding though, and gave me 1 extra week extension for each problem. Great service!"

"I live in an environment where I can’t pick up and go see a therapist. I have found using this site, my chosen therapist and the structured program very therapeutic. I would recommend it to anyone who is feeling isolated and needs to reach out and seek guidance. Finding support is a text, click or virtual appointment away and I have found it very beneficial to my mental/emotional and physical well being."

"My therapist is amazing. She listens and provides constructive criticism when I need it. She breaks down my feelings and explanations of my experiences in terms that I understand and reinforces with a why or a how. I have never felt more comfortable sharing the uncomfortable and genuinely feeling better about myself after each session."
