Your heart races. You cannot breathe. You think you are dying. Panic attacks are terrifying but treatable. Help is here.

Panic disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. You live in fear of the next attack. This leads to avoidance of places or situations.

We first understand what happens in your body during a panic attack. Then you learn that the sensations are uncomfortable but not dangerous. Avoidance stops. Panic loses its power.

Panic feels like a heart attack or losing control. But it is just adrenaline. Your body’s alarm system is too sensitive. We recalibrate it.
