Anxiety & Panic

Anxiety is a natural physical and mental response to potential threats. However, when this worry becomes persistent and starts restricting your daily life, seeking professional counseling support becomes vital. In our clinic located in Kadıköy Suadiye or through online therapy sessions, we support you in managing anxiety and panic disorder.

Panic disorder manifests through sudden, intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, trembling, and a sense of losing control. These episodes often lead to "anticipatory anxiety"—the constant fear of experiencing another attack—which gradually shrinks your personal space and daily activities.

When our mind perceives a high level of threat, the body activates its "fight or flight" mode. In our psychology practice in Kadıköy, we first aim to help you understand this mechanism so you can regain control. Key signs that indicate the need for professional support include:

- Uncontrollable, continuous worry and racing thoughts throughout the day

- Avoiding specific places or social settings due to the fear of having a panic attack

- Constantly monitoring physical symptoms like chest tightness, dizziness, or shortness of breath

- Difficulty falling asleep and chronic mental fatigue

Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches applied in our anxiety and panic disorder sessions in Kadıköy, we focus on:

- Identifying the negative thought patterns that trigger anxiety and panic attacks

- Developing body-awareness and calming techniques to manage physical overarousal

- Replacing avoidance behaviors with healthy, sustainable coping mechanisms

Anxiety and panic attacks are manageable and treatable conditions. Contact us to schedule an in-person session in Suadiye or an online appointment.
