Introduction
The client presented with a recent panic attack that occurred two months before our first meeting. The panic attack was intense enough to prevent her from going on a work-related international trip. This incident marked the first significant panic episode in years. Given this, our initial approach focused on understanding her current knowledge of anxiety management and strategies for addressing panic attacks. She lacked prior experience with such strategies, which indicated that we needed to begin with essential tools and interventions to manage her heightened anxiety.
