How many sessions will I need?
Usually an assessment and 8 to 10 sessions. Your progress is checked with the GAD-7 questionnaire along the way.
Are panic attacks dangerous?
A panic attack feels frightening but is not dangerous in itself. If you have chest pain or trouble breathing for the first time, get checked by a doctor the same day.
