Managing Panic Attacks Through a Systemic Therapy Perspective

In this course, Michelle Frantzi Karan (M.Sc. Psychology, systemic family psychotherapist and supervisor) introduces a systemic therapy framework for understanding and treating panic attacks. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on symptom reduction, systemic therapy explores the relational, psychological, and contextual factors contributing to panic attacks.<br><br> Key insights include systemic perspectives on panic attacks, the impact of family dynamics and social relationships on panic symptoms, and clinical techniques such as circular questioning, positive reframing, and therapeutic tasks. Practical applications, including a case study on a client with panic disorder, are also included. Mental health professionals will gain valuable strategies for helping clients build long-term resilience by balancing personal needs and external expectations.
