I have been treating panic disorder for the past ten years. As difficult as panic attacks are to manage, the treatment is extremely effective and has a large evidence base. I work with clients to identify the thoughts and sensations that make up a panic attack, and how to interrupt the cycle that causes the spiral. This is also a treatment where some clients can see substantial improvement in a matter of weeks. 

Interoceptive Exposure: The most effective treatment for panic disorder is usually interoceptive exposure. This treatment is started with the help of a professional, and clients can use the techniques and skills they learn to live a life without the fear of panic attacks. This treatment is an alternative to anxiety medications, which can have significant side effects, and the benefits of treatment can often expand far wider than the just managing panic attacks.
