Panic disorders present a unique challenge to clinicians, as an essential component of the disorder is that patients fear having future panic attacks, and thus often engage in avoidant behavior. Watch as anxiety expert Reid Wilson works with Reneé, a woman whose life has been severely restrained to the point where she’s become agoraphobic, using a paradoxical approach—insisting that she demand that anxiety increase her symptoms—and showing her that it is her relationship to her symptoms, rather than the symptoms themselves, that makes them so intractable.
If you’re struggling using traditional approaches with clients who have panic or other anxiety disorders, let Wilson guide you in a radically different, counterintuitive and extremely effective approach.
