Panic Disorder Treatment in Florida and New York
Find Calm, Confidence, and Control Again
When Panic Takes Over, It Can Feel Like You’re Losing Yourself
If you’ve ever had a panic attack, you know it’s not “just stress.” It’s a tidal wave—your heart races, your chest tightens, your hands tingle, and your mind screams, “Something is wrong.”
Even when you logically know you’re not in danger, your body reacts like it’s an emergency. You start avoiding places just in case. You dread the next one. You feel confused, exhausted, and alone.
You’re not broken. And you’re not alone. Panic attacks are overwhelming—but highly treatable.
What Is a Panic Attack?
Panic attacks are intense fear episodes that strike suddenly. Common symptoms include:
Racing heart or chest pressure
Shortness of breath
Feeling faint or dizzy
The urge to escape
A sense of doom or detachment
Though they typically last 10–20 minutes, the fear of them can linger—causing avoidance, agoraphobia, or constant hypervigilance.
This is the cycle I help my clients break—every day.
What Causes Panic Attacks?
There’s no single cause, but contributing factors often include:
- Genetic predisposition
- High chronic stress
- Sensitivity to physical sensations (interoceptive sensitivity)
- Suppressing emotions or always “holding it together”
- Catastrophic thinking (“If my heart’s racing, I’m dying”)
Ment for panic and anxiety.
With the right support, you’ll learn to:
- Understand what’s happening in your brain and body
- Reframe anxious and catastrophic thoughts
- Gently face feared situations or sensations (exposure therapy)
- Build confidence and calm from the inside out
