The panic attack is a truly beastly thing. It is characterized by shortness of breath, chest pains, and a feeling of overwhelming fear or dread. Once a panic attack takes hold, the only option is to find a quiet place and wait until the symptoms subside. Yet, what happens if you are in the supermarket, at the cinema, or doing the school run? What if ‘waiting it out’ isn’t good enough? Better yet, can you ever learn how to stop a panic attack in its tracks?

If you suffer with a phobia, you probably know what it feels like not to be taken seriously. You might even have been ridiculed for your fear. You might have been told to just ‘get over it.’ Or, expected to grin and bear it for the benefit of others. Yet, you know that the reality is very different. To have a phobia is to find yourself in the grip of pure terror. It is not always rational or logical, but it is real. And a targeted phobia treatment is needed to find a solution.
