You may need several months of once-weekly sessions (10-16). However, CBT alone will not improve symptoms completely. I highly recommend a therapy that includes a somatic component that targets your anxiety/fight or flight reaction in the body. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form body focused, exposure desensitization therapy that could be effective for panic. Thanks for asking!

Since anxiety is both a thought and a bodily response, a treatment that targets both is key. One of the most effective treatments currently is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). CBT with some somatic work might. At some level we all have anxiety, but when it becomes constant or debilitating it's important to get some help for coping, balanced thinking, and working out tension. Some medical condition cause symptoms like anxiety, so see a doctor to rule those out!

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is an effective, brief therapy protocol that is especially useful in reducing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress. https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/

Yes, I use a protocol called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to treat panic and anxiety. Panic attacks are an extreme body reaction of anxiety. It may take a few sessions to get results because of triggers that are involved with Panic. The original Panic as well as ongoing fear of having additional panic attacks can have several "layers",but the severe body response needs to be addressed in a somatic focused therapy (ART, some EMDR protocols)

I believe a combination of Accelerated Resolution therapy (ART), nutritional supplements and possibly medication are the best for rapid healing for depression. https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/

Certainly! But "worse" is a feeling and one could say that you have to to some tough work, looking at and wrestling through 'worse to grow and heal. A good therapist can guide and provide safety and support.

If you are "worse' because you aren't feeling better, gaining insight or progression towards therapy goals, then it's time to try a different therapist or approach.

Studies show that a combination of counseling therapy and medication produces the best results. We have many treatments today that were not available 20 years ago, including: TMS trans cranial magnetic Stimulation, CBT, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and ketamine. Lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements can also support healing. Many medical issues have depression as a Symptom, especially those thyroid, hormonal and injuries/chronic pain. Please seek a doctor's help if depressed or call 911 if you are suicidal. There are ways to feel better.
