Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can feel terrifying — like you’re spiraling, can’t breathe, or completely out of control. At Dreavita, we offer virtual therapy to help you understand, manage, and heal from panic attacks with care that centers your body, your pace, and your lived experience. You’re not broken — your nervous system is trying to protect you. We’re here to help you retrain it.

A panic attack isn’t “just in your head.” It’s a full-body experience that can leave you feeling helpless, embarrassed, or afraid it will happen again. At Dreavita, we support clients who experience panic in all its forms — from racing hearts and shallow breathing to dissociation, nausea, or feeling like you're dying.

You might be having panic attacks if you’ve experienced:

• Sudden, intense fear or dread

• Chest tightness, shortness of breath, or dizziness

• Sweating, shaking, or numbness

• A fear of “going crazy,” passing out, or losing control

• A sense of detachment from your body or surroundings (derealization or depersonalization)

• Avoidance of places where attacks have happened before

Panic attacks can stem from:

• Chronic stress or burnout

• Unprocessed trauma or medical trauma

• Neurodivergent nervous system sensitivity

• Phobias or anxiety disorders

• Hidden grief or emotional overload

• Sensitivity to caffeine, overstimulation, or sensory input

At Dreavita, we help you:

• Understand why panic attacks happen in your body

• Rebuild trust in your body’s cues and self-regulation

• Explore root causes and co-occurring issues (e.g., trauma, ADHD, OCD, grief)

• Develop grounding, breath, and movement tools to disrupt panic cycles

• Identify and shift the thought loops that fuel fear

• Re-enter feared spaces with gentle exposure and self-compassion

• Normalize your experience — without shame, pressure, or invalidation

We may use:

• CBT, DBT, or somatic therapy

• Mindfulness and nervous system mapping

• Coaching for routine shifts and emotional tracking

• EMDR if panic is trauma-linked

• Neurofeedback to retrain your baseline nervous system state

Panic attacks are often trying to tell you something — you don’t have to run from them, and you don’t have to face them alone.

Let us help you create a life where safety, breath, and calm are possible again.
