Testimonial for CBT and EMDR treatment for panic attacks whilst driving and heightened anxiety

January 16, 2020 Sarah McCartney

I came to see Sarah following a severe panic attack whilst driving and finding myself in a state of constant anxiety. This heightened anxiety was not typical for me but had quietly built up over a period of approximately a year, without me fully realising. I didn’t know what to expect from CBT but Sarah put me at ease instantly and explained everything very clearly.

Over a course of sessions, we looked at what was maintaining my heightened anxiety level. We successfully reduced this and I now only experience anxiety when appropriate.

I mentioned to Sarah that the memory of the panic attack was still vivid and I could still recall physically how it felt. At this point I was still avoiding driving any significant distance and was sticking to local journey. The mere thought of driving could incite the same symptoms. Using EMDR we were successfully able to neutralise the memory of the panic attack. I am now returned to my status as a confident driver.

Female, aged 45 (September 2019)
