Treating a panic disorder: you should avoid these mistakes

In cases of panic disorder, patients are typically advised to pursue a combination of medication and behavioral therapy. However, this treatment doesn’t work for everyone. Panic disorders can only be overcome long-term if all underlying causes of the disorder are identified and properly addressed. Since many triggers are barely considered in conventional therapy, many affected individuals suffer longer than necessary.

Therefore, don’t make the mistake of settling for inadequate diagnostics. If your treating therapist hasn’t been able to explicitly rule out one or more of the following triggers of panic disorder, you should urgently seek further assistance:

With our online therapy program How to Calm Anxiety it’s different. Here, you get a comprehensive overview of all possible triggers of panic disorder. Additionally, you’ll learn brand-new anxiety-stopping techniques based on the Bernhardt Method that truly work. Forget breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, distraction techniques, and medication.

The Bernhardt Method: Anxiety Therapy on the Cutting Edge of Science

The Bernhardt Method combines the best of various therapeutic approaches with the latest insights from brain research. This allows anxiety disorders to be treated much faster and more sustainably. This is also confirmed by over 300 psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and doctors from various specialties who have already attended training on the Bernhardt Method. Here are a few testimonials:

    „After a failed surgery, I found myself trapped in a negative spiral of fears and constant rumination. At that time, I was searching for a new, innovative solution beyond conventional therapies and came across the Bernhardt Method. With this surprisingly simple self-help guide, I found my way back to a free and light life. That’s why I now use this method in my own practice and recommend it both to those affected and to my colleagues working in psychotherapy.“

      “I discovered Daniela and Klaus Bernhardt’s method for myself and my patients back in 2017. Since then, I have been working with it regularly and am still amazed at how quickly and easily it can help those affected. If anxiety patients use the Bernhardt method for just 20 minutes a day, they can usually return to a largely normal life after just 6 to 8 weeks.”

        „The method developed at the Institute for Modern Psychotherapy has greatly enriched my work with people suffering from anxiety and PTSD. I am very grateful to Daniela and Klaus Bernhardt for the ease and precision accompanying my therapy sessions since I started working with the method they developed. With it, even severely traumatized people can feel significantly more joy in their lives, focus on their true needs and activate the necessary self-healing processes.“

          “I had almost given up after more than 4 years of therapy without lasting success. But then a friend told me about this online course. Sometimes I still can’t believe how easy it was to eliminate my emetophobia. Thanks to the videos, I was able to somehow reprogram my brain. As I type these lines into my phone, a lovely waiter clears my plate. I have just finished a portion of ribbon noodles with salmon with great pleasure. Completely! Now I’m still relaxed, drinking the glass of wine that I treated myself to dinner, and I can hardly get out of my grin. Finally, I can enjoy everything again without developing any stupid thoughts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

            “This online course was more valuable than 2 years of psychoanalysis and 25 hours of behavioral therapy. I was finally able to get off my medication, because of which I had already gained 38 pounds. And since my mental health has improved, I’ve also been able to lose weight again. I have lost 5 pounds in the last 4 weeks alone. I love my new life and can only advise everyone who has had the same experience as me to give this course a chance. You will not regret it!”

              “You can tell right away that the creators of this online therapy know what it means to suffer from an anxiety disorder. The online course is like having a good friend speak to you who knows you intimately and can guide you out of fear step by step. Absolutely recommended for anyone dealing with anxiety in any form.”

                “I was very impressed by the different techniques that can immediately stop an anxiety attack. But, of course, you have to experience it yourself. Otherwise, you can’t believe it.”

                Even the best online therapy can only help if you dedicate time to it. To go through all 52 videos in the How to Calm Anxiety program, you’ll need about 7 hours. After that, you’ll begin a customized mental training that requires around 20 minutes of your time each day. If you’re willing to invest this much time in your health, you can expect a significant reduction in all anxiety symptoms within just a few days.

                How long it ultimately takes to fully overcome your panic disorder usually depends on how long you’ve been struggling with it. However, most users of How to Calm Anxiety report that a mental training period of 6 to 12 weeks (at 20 minutes a day) was needed to completely overcome their panic disorder.

Just two weeks after working regularly with the 10-sentence method, I noticed how this fear, which has been with me since I was 16, became much less severe. After about 8 weeks, I could eat out again without any worries for the first time. Thank you very much for your work; you have enriched my life immeasurably.”
