Online Therapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks with a Licensed Therapist




Online counseling therapy can be an effective
treatment for anxiety and panic attacks, but
first let's answer two questions: What is
anxiety, and when does it become a disorder?
Anxiety is a universal human emotion that
helps us survive by warning of approaching
danger by switching us into fight-or-flight
mode so we can protect ourselves. Anxiety
is like an internal smoke detector, but instead
of warning only of smoke, it warns of any
threats. Anxiety becomes a disorder when it
frequently throws us into fight-or-flight
mode without the presence of any real threat.
Panic attacks are an extreme form of anxiety
disorder where we feel like we're going to
die, go crazy, or completely lose control
even though no real threat is present. Anxiety
can last for hours, days, or even longer,
but panic attacks are brief and exhausting,
usually less than 30 minutes, but can become
reoccurring.
So, to continue with my smoke detector analogy,
if a smoke detector is calibrated incorrectly,
it might falsely andquot;perceiveandquot; steam from a shower
as smoke, thereby triggering an alarm. Similarly,
if a person has an andquot;incorrectly calibrated
threat detector,andquot; it might produce anxiety
or panic attacks by falsely perceiving danger
where none exists. Thus, anxiety disorders
and panic attacks are like smoke detectors
run amok. Except worse - much worse!
Living with anxiety and panic attacks is not
easy. In fact, it can be an ordeal. Alarms
are triggered everywhere as sufferers struggle
to feel safe. Have you ever felt in serious
danger - in combat, escaping a fire, or living
through a hurricane? If so, then you might
begin to grasp what sufferers of chronic anxiety
and panic attacks experience on a daily basis
as they struggle to feel safe.
What causes some individuals to have incorrectly
calibrated threat detectors? The answer falls
between genetics, biochemistry, and environment.
From my years as a therapist, I have observed
that most sufferers of chronic anxiety and
panic attacks either have family members with
anxiety disorders, or they grew up in alcoholic,
abusive, or other dysfunctional environments,
or maybe they experienced both.
How does environment produce anxiety disorders?
In an experiment, rats were put in two cages
where painful electric shocks were delivered.
In cage #1 the rats received shocks exactly
on the hour and half hour. In cage #2, the
rats received shocks that were random but
no more frequent or intense than the shocks
in cage #1. So, what happened over time? In
cage #1 the rats quickly learned the schedule
of the shocks and then braced themselves on
the hour and half-hour, endured the shock,
and then relaxed and went about doing what
rats do. In cage #2, where the shocks could
not be predicted, all the rats developed anxiety
disorders where they could not stop shaking!
Sadly, growing up in the chaos of addiction, abuse,
or other severely dysfunctional or tragic
environments is similar to the conditions
of cage #2, and many survivors of such situations
develop anxiety disorders because their wounded
minds are andquot;programmedandquot; to habitually tell
them they are not safe, even when they are.
So what helps? Surprisingly, antidepressants
are the most effective medications for anxiety
because they seem to andquot;recalibrate the threat
detector in the brainandquot; so it isn't triggered
so easily, which gives long-term relief. Anxiety
medications, on the other hand, give only
short-term relief, so are less effective.
And they're addictive, which antidepressants
are not. However, many of my clients manage
their anxiety effectively without medications.
So, how can online therapy for anxiety and panic
attacks help? Well my role as a licensed counselor
is to help you improve your understanding
of anxiety and panic attacks; increase your
awareness of how your thoughts, feelings,
and bodily sensations come together to create
anxiety and panic attacks; and strengthen
your self-care and coping skills so you can
manage anxiety and panic attacks more skillfully
to the point that they become bumps in the
road rather than crises. And for sufferers
of anxiety and panic attacks, this provides
welcomed and empowering relief.
As online counseling progresses, you'll become
more confident in managing anxiety, which
will improve your functioning and self-esteem.
As a result, you'll be able to enjoy life's
pleasures more and cope with life's challenges
better. Anxiety disorders can be disabling,
but they are also quite treatable. Are you

Dream Theater - Panic Attack - Legendado - Português e Inglês




All wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Bouts of fear
Permeate
All i see
Heightening
Nervousness
Theatens me
I am paralyzed
So afraid to die
Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show
Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow
Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I dont know why i'm constantly so uptight
Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like im in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress
A stifling surge shooting through all my veins
Extreme apprehension, suddenly i'm insane
No strong hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best
Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight or flight
I dont know why i'm constantly feeling...
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this
Complex delirium
Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety
Run, try to hide
Overwhelmed by this
Complex delirium
