Panic Disorder is very common
Anyone who has gone through a panic attack will testify that it is an extremely frightening experience. Every year around 4 to 5% of the population suffer from Panic Disorder and a quarter of those people also have Agoraphobia.
For years doctors were at a loss as to how to treat panic attacks.
In the past, if panic disorder was even diagnosed correctly, the standard treatment was anti-depressant medication along with very vague information about ‘how to relax’. Unfortunately the medication often caused unwanted side effects and ‘relaxation’ techniques had little effect on removing the extreme fear of the attacks.
The Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Revolution
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has helped to change all that and with the correct treatment plan and a willingness to apply the techniques a person can be fully recovered from Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia in as little as 4 to 8 sessions.
Fast track to recovery!
Panic disorder is actually one of the easiest of the Anxiety disorders to treat because the problem is mostly concerned with mistaken beliefs about the consequences of the extreme symptoms of anxiety which lead to thinking and behaviour cycles which in turn maintain the problem.
Once these beliefs are corrected through ‘psycho-education’ and the unhelpful behaviour is modified with the use of very particular coping skills and Behavioural Experiments the panic attacks slowly die down until they stop altogether.
ONLINE CBT proved to be effective for Panic Disorder
Studies now show that ONLINE CBT (with brief email contact) can be just as effective as direct contact with a therapist.
Jan Bergström, a clinical psychologist at the Anxiety Disorders Unit of the Psychiatry division of the Stockholm County Council conducted a randomized trial of 104 patients diagnosed with panic disorder which concluded that online CBT was just as effective as group CBT and much more cost effective.

You saved my life! I have been suffering from this horrible condition for nearly 10 YEARS and I tried everything you could possibly imagine. As soon as I read the first workbook I felt so different as if a light had gone on in my head and I just couldn’t believe how much it related to me like you had got inside my head. It was all so easy to take in unlike all the usual guff I read online and what the doctors told me. Your program just made sense and worked – what else can I say. I wish I could send it to everyone right now who is still suffering..“

Incredible Success Rate for CBT
In an article in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1991 a review of 150 research studies showed that 87% of people with Panic Disorder (with Agoraphobia) improved with only a 10% relapse rate. CBT for Panic Disorder without Agoraphobia has an incredible improvement rate of 90% with only a 5% relapse rate.
Studies also suggests that CBT long term outcomes are better than with pharmacology (medication):
87% of patients remain without attacks at 1 year, and 75-81% at 2 years after completion of brief CBT.
