Understanding Panic
Breaking the Cycle
A panic attack is your body's survival mechanism—the "alarm system"—firing at the wrong time. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you understand these physical sensations, reducing the fear of the symptoms themselves and rewiring your biological response for long-term calmness.
- Body Awareness: Learning how the alarm system works.
- Skill Building: Mastery of breathing and grounding techniques.
- Exposure Therapy: Safely facing feared sensations to disarm them.
SESSION FOCUS
Panic attacks can feel overwhelming, like a sudden wave of intense fear. CBT provides the tools to break this cycle by managing the body's natural responses to perceived danger, leading to long-term recovery and peace of mind.
Body Alarm System

Grounding Skills
Developing practical breathing and grounding techniques to anchor yourself when early signs of panic arise.
Exposure Therapy
Gently exposing yourself to sensations to desensitise the alarm system and build lasting confidence.
