How CBT Helps You Take Back Control from Panic Attacks

 Everybody must know about heart attacks. But, how familiar are most of you with ‘panic attack’ and what it actually means?

 

Panic disorder has panic attacks. But not all panic attacks warrant a panic disorder diagnosis. When it comes to its treatment, there are many therapies and techniques which are used in managing panic attacks and other anxiety disorders, but CBT for anxiety treatment in India is commonly found to be effective. Let's see what exactly panic attack means before we know what can be done as a remedy.

Panic attacks and Panic Disorder

Panic attacks like the name suggests is like a sudden attack. But instead of actual heart problems and physical issues like that in heart attack, the major feature of panic attack is a sudden rush of intense fear or discomfort along with some of the many physical symptoms including palpitations, sweating, trembling, dizziness, breathing difficulties or feeling of choking and certain cognitive symptoms like depersonalization/derealisation, fear of dying or fear of going crazy. Best CBT therapists in India can tell that these symptoms are not a result of direct danger or crisis, but often from anxiety because of perceived threat. That is why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in India is a go-to management technique in panic attack treatment.

 

These attacks reach peak intensity in about 10 minutes and usually lasts for some minutes. When such attacks start to occur often and when they do not, you are anxious about the next attack or its consequences, this can interfere with your daily life. And requires professional attention. Treatment can be availed through in-person psychotherapies as well as online sessions which can include CBT therapy online in India. Depending on the severity and duration, if symptoms meet the criteria, the individual might be diagnosed with panic disorder by an expert.

 

CBT for Overcoming Panic Attacks

We have discussed one of the widely used psychotherapy, CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in India in the context of many mental disorders. How effective would CBT for anxiety treatment in India be, even for panic attacks?

 

It is quite an effective and relatively short-term method for treatment of panic attacks, panic disorder, and other anxiety issues. Best CBT therapists in India can help you gain your sense of control back from panic attacks, not only by identifying the beliefs and thought patterns that are triggering the panic attacks but also by helping you change or modify them in a way that keeps you in control and not letting yourself succumb to the fear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in India tries to unravel and help you recognize the connections between your thoughts, associated feelings, and resulting behaviors that are the root cause of the panic attacks. 

 

It's not just identifying. Best CBT therapists in India who would know how to tailor CBT specifically for panic attacks, would help you learn new patterns of thinking, how to exercise behaviors that modify and support your thoughts for the better, and make you feel safer and in control. Also in CBT for anxiety treatment in India, the therapists enable you with techniques that help you deal with anxiety and panic attacks even when you are outside therapy, in the real world and calm yourself down when faced with triggers or in face of a panic attack in daily life.

Internet-based CBT (iCBT)

Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety disorders can be just as effective as in-person CBT. iCBT can be done depending on the individual's needs. CBT therapy online in India can be a great choice for people who find in-person therapy intimidating. It is also helpful for people to access therapy anywhere and anytime.

 

Another important advantage of opting CBT therapy online in India is for people who might be afraid to go out in public because of the fear of having another panic attack and often this fear itself can be a trigger if they are forced to go out. Having iCBT sessions from the comforts of their homes can help them reduce such thoughts, and fears and help them build the control over themselves in anxiety-inducing situations and reach a stage where going out doesn't scare them anymore and further treatment, if necessary, can be done through in-person therapy, when they are ready and are slowly but surely conquering their control back from panic attacks.
