Fight or Flight -
Overcoming Panic and Agoraphobia (Video)

ABOUT THE VIDEO

In this new video two people talk about their experiences with panic disorder and agoraphobia and the effect that it has had on their lives. They describe how their symptoms were initially attributed to physical causes and their subsequent diagnosis with panic disorder, and they teach in plain language the techniques that they then used to successfully overcome it.

Additional insight is given by Professor Ron Rapee, Professor of Psychology, Macquarie University, and Dr Lisa Lampe, a consultant psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The techniques are largely based on cognitive behavioral therapy, which has proven to be a very successful treatment for panic disorder and for agoraphobia.

Of particular interest is the section on internal exposure. This is a relatively recent and very successful technique in the treatment of panic disorder.

Cognitive behavior therapy has proven to be a very successful treatment for panic disorder and agoraphobia. It involves common sense and practical notions of how to recover. This video will help teach you to use these tools that have worked so well for other people, and that have been proven to be effective.

The video covers:

• What is panic disorder and how is it treated?
• What is agoraphobia?
• Information about common symptoms
• Self monitoring
• Breathing retraining
• Realistic thinking
• Internal exposure - learning that your symptoms won't hurt you
• External (graded) exposure - overcoming agoraphobia
• The role of medication
