Who This Intensive Is For

  • Experience panic attacks or fear of having one

  • Feel afraid of bodily sensations (racing heart, dizziness, breathlessness)

  • Avoid driving, stores, crowds, travel, or being alone

  • Feel trapped in cycles of anticipatory anxiety

  • Understand that panic is not dangerous, but still feel controlled by it

The Core Problem We Address

Panic disorder is maintained by fear of fear.

The body reacts → sensations appear → those sensations are interpreted as dangerous → panic escalates → avoidance reinforces the cycle.

 

This intensive targets the exact mechanisms that keep panic alive, including:

  • Fear of bodily sensations

  • Avoidance and safety behaviors

  • Loss of trust in the body

  • Hypervigilance and anticipatory anxiety

 

 

What Makes This Intensive Different

This is not coping skills alone.

The Freedom from Panic Intensive focuses on:

  • Interoceptive exposure (learning through experience that sensations are safe)

  • Situational exposure (approaching avoided situations with structure)

  • Cognitive and acceptance-based strategies that reduce fear of fear

  • A personalized Panic Recovery Plan

You will not be pushed or flooded.
This is gradual, therapist-guided exposure, grounded in decades of research.

The Freedom from Panic Intensive is a specialty, exposure-informed program for panic disorder and panic-related avoidance. Screening is required to ensure safety and appropriate fit. This program is not crisis care and is not appropriate for individuals requiring a higher level of care. Outcomes vary, and participation does not guarantee symptom elimination.
