Absolutely! Therapy is very effective in reducing anxiety attacks. With treatment & commitment to the skills you will learn in CBT the panic attacks can stop.
Yes, absolutely! A psychologist can teach you more about what is going on in your body when you have a panic attack, and she can also teach you tools to help calm your nervous system and understand that anxiety symptoms are not medically dangerous. Cognitive behavior therapy is one of the most effective treatment for stopping panic attacks.
Definitely! This would be a fantastic reason to work with a therapist.
Anxiety attacks are different from individual to individual. Do the attacks occur in specific contexts or do they occur across contexts. Context specific attacks disappear when one leaves the context trigger ( what occurs / associated with that specific context). General attacks are not necessarily associated with specific contexts, but, can grow worse in specific contexts, and, are more characteristic of individuals who experience heightened nervousness most of the time. Treatment and / or counter-conditioning can help. Once the causal factors are identified, change in anxiety attacks can be approached based upon the identified causative factors.
