THINKING THROUGH PANIC: A Practical CBT & ACT-Informed Guide for Understanding and Overcoming Panic

A panic attack is one of the most frightening experiences a person can have — and one of the most misunderstood. This workbook provides a clear, grounded explanation of what a panic attack actually is, why it feels life-threatening when it is not, and how the cycle of catastrophic misinterpretation, safety behaviors, and anticipatory anxiety keeps panic going long after the original episode has passed. Skills chapters cover cognitive restructuring for panic-specific thoughts, interoceptive exposure — the evidence-based technique of deliberately inducing panic-like sensations to reduce their alarm value — ACT-based acceptance and diffusion, controlled breathing, grounding, and TIPP skills for acute arousal. A dedicated during-panic protocol gives you a step-by-step plan for the moments when thinking is hardest. Written with attention to the particular challenges of panic in the context of chronic pain, mild traumatic brain injury, and trauma history.
