Typically therapy begins with an assessment of yourself. This helps the therapist understand more about your history, and also current situation. This background is very important.

The therapist would help you to determine the source of the panic attacks. You would both look at the times that you experienced the attacks, and determine what would trigger them.

The therapy would then focus on two issues, it would work on finding ways to deal and cope with the attacks when they happen, and would also focus on working through whatever issues were causing the attacks in the first place.

Learning a skillset to deal with panic attacks is very important. This would give you the ability to cope and work through panic attacks as they occur. This means learning about ways to relax your body, and how to engage your mind to stop the attacks.

Therapy is a way to identify these issues, and develop an action plan to deal with and reduce the stress.
