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.

"OnlineTherapy is a great way to get immediate access to high quality therapy. For me this has been a wonderful opportunity to start with therapy. Therapy has been very helpful for me. I am learning new tools and techniques to help myself, gain new perspectives and insights about myself and the world around me. I have the best therapist in the world and am so grateful for her highly valued support. The only challenge I have encountered so far is getting support with the platform when you need support. That proved to be complicated and I need to wait long and keep writing emails until a solution can be found. For therapy and the great platform itself I would totally give the full five stars! Thank you for this opportunity, I guess it was my only way of getting help soon and simple!"
