Overview
Panic disorder is frequently encountered in psychotherapy practice. Panic attacks may occur on their own or more commonly in conjunction with other anxiety disorders or psychiatric conditions. Health anxiety, previously described as hypochondriasis is also frequently seen in practice along with panic disorder, OCD or other anxiety issues. While CBT has been found to be an effective treatment for these conditions, few clinicians properly implement the most appropriate and most effective strategies and techniques, leading patients and clients to achieve suboptimal clinical improvement or to relapse. In this workshop, Dr Ludgate will revisit the CBT model for panic attacks and disorders as well as for health anxiety and provide practical evidence-base interventions raising from this model to combat these highly impairing disorders.
