In this video, we illustrate an example of explaining to a client how panic attacks occur, and how they develop into panic disorder. We demonstrate how the client’s personal experience can be elicited to build a collaborative formulation that informs panic treatment.
Handouts and worksheets on overcoming panic attacks, including the “Panic Stations” workbook, are freely available here: https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Reso...
A corresponding clinician reflection exercise can be downloaded from our website as a companion to this video. Engaging in these reflection exercises will help you to maximise your learning, and can equip you to use the demonstrated principles in your own work: https://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/Trai...
