Introduction

When I was nineteen years old, I began to experience strange, terrifying sensations that appeared to show up out of the blue. I tried to ignore them, but they only got worse. I tried to fight them, but they only grew. I did not want anyone to know how scared I was for fear that I would appear weak, or worse, crazy.

At that time, I was able to white knuckle my way past panic disorder and push myself forward despite the discomfort. I only wish someone had informed me that I was suffering from panic disorder and that this was, in fact, one of the most treatable mental health conditions. One painful side effect of my undetected panic disorder was that I came to believe there was something wrong with me. It seemed to me that in some core way I was broken or lacking, and that was why I was experiencing such disturbing sensations.

If only I could time travel back to 1996. I would educate my young self on the physiology of panic disorder and explain to her in simple terms why she was experiencing those disturbing sensations. I would assure her that she is whole and of sound mind and, in fact, is brave and powerful. I would let her know that she has so much to look forward to, such as meeting her wonderful husband, raising three delightful (and often exhausting) children, and a flourishing career as a clinical psychologist. Unfortunately, it took me almost ten years to accidentally stumble upon the most empirically supported treatment for panic disorder, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

My colleaguesDr. Bari Goldman Cohen and Dr. Kathi Fine Abitboland I wrote this workbook with the goal of introducing CBT for panic disorder in order to expedite your journey to finding the most effective treatment for panic disorder. We are honored to be your guides through and soon past panic disorder.
