Panic symptoms and panic attacks can feel overwhelming and frightening. This book guides teens through the isolation and worry of living with panic symptoms or panic disorder. Through interactive exercises, this book shows that the key to unlocking freedom from panic is learning to understand our feelings, fears and bodies. Demonstrating that panic is a natural emotion that many people experience, it provides useful strategies drawn from a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to help teens to get on top of their fears and panic. Co-written by respected clinicians in the field, the strategies in this book are tried and tested in helping teens and young people in their journey through panic.
