Therapy for Panic Disorder

Are you struggling with the effects of panic disorder?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Your world is becoming increasingly restricted as you avoid potential triggers
  • Daily activities are planned around managing anxiety and preventing attacks
  • Relationships and work performance may be suffering
  • You’re developing “fear of fear” – anxiety about having anxiety
  • Your confidence in your ability to navigate normal situations is eroding
  • You may be avoiding exercise or activities that cause similar physical sensations
  • Independence and spontaneity are diminished by fear of having attacks in public

You've started to recognize how panic disorder is impacting your life:

  • Your world is becoming increasingly restricted as you avoid potential triggers
  • Daily activities are planned around managing anxiety and preventing attacks
  • Relationships and work performance may be suffering
  • You’re developing “fear of fear” – anxiety about having anxiety
  • Your confidence in your ability to navigate normal situations is eroding
  • You may be avoiding exercise or activities that cause similar physical sensations
  • Independence and spontaneity are diminished by fear of having attacks in public

You’re wondering…

  • Why do I have these terrifying attacks when there’s no real danger?
  • Am I actually physically ill, or are these really “just” panic attacks?
  • Will I ever be able to predict or control these episodes?
  • Could these attacks cause actual physical harm like a heart attack?
  • Why do normal bodily sensations now trigger such intense fear?
  • Will I need medication, or can therapy alone help with panic disorder?
  • Is it possible to fully recover, or will I always be vulnerable to panic?

You’re longing for…

  • Freedom from the grip of unexpected panic attacks.
  • The ability to distinguish between danger and normal anxiety.
  • Confidence in your body’s natural processes without catastrophic interpretation.
  • Recovery of activities, places, or experiences you’ve been avoiding.
  • Understanding of the mechanisms behind your panic symptoms.
  • Effective tools to manage anxiety before it escalates to panic.
  • A life not limited by the constant vigilance against panic.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we understand that panic attacks can be among the most frightening experiences a person can have, often feeling like a life-threatening emergency even though they're not physically dangerous. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that panic disorder frequently has roots in earlier adverse experiences that have created a heightened alarm system in your body and catastrophic interpretations of normal bodily sensations.

What you’re longing for is possible.
