It affects people of all races and social classes. • It is estimated that fewer than 25% of people with Social Phobia receive adequate treatment. • The onset of Social Phobia is typically during adolescence, but it may occur in childhood, prior to the age of ten. Approximately 40% of social phobias appear before the age of ten, and 95% before the age of twenty. • Social Phobia is characterised by an underlying fear of scrutiny by people in social situations. It is also associated with fear of performance situations in which embarrassment may occur. • Social Phobia is not shyness. A person with social phobia who finds it unbearable to sign a cheque in public, might be quite extroverted in other contexts. • People with social phobia will avoid social or occupational situations where their particular anxiety might be provoked for eg urinating in a public restroom, or giving a speech. • Common fears include: being introduced to others, meeting people in authority, using the telephone, eating in restaurants or writing in front of others. • When faced with a feared situation, people may have symptoms of panic, e.g. heart palpitations, trembling, sweating, hot and cold flushes and blushing. • 45% of people with social phobia will develop agoraphobia, where their fear of having a panic attack in a social setting will lead them to avoiding social settings altogether.

  • EMDR Therapy Protocol for Panic Disorders with Or Without Agoraphobia 53
    PANIC DISORDER AND AGORAPHOBIA EMDR Therapy Protocol for Panic Disorders 2 With or Without Agoraphobia Ferdinand Horst and Ad de Jongh Introduction Panic disorder, as stated in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fi fth edition (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) is characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks and by hyperarousal symptoms like palpitations, pounding heart, chest pain, sweating, trembling, or shaking. These symptoms can be experienced as cata- strophic (“I am dying”) and mostly have a strong impact on daily life. When panic disorder is accompanied by severe avoidance of places or situations from which escape might be diffi cult or embarrassing, it is specifi ed as “panic disorder with agoraphobia” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). EMDR Therapy and Panic Disorder With or Without Agoraphobia Despite the well-examined effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the applicability of EMDR Therapy for other anxiety disorders, like panic disorders with or without agora- phobia (PDA or Pathological Demand Avoidance), has hardly been examined (de Jongh & ten Broeke, 2009). From a theoretical perspective, there are several reasons why EMDR Therapy could be useful in the treatment of panic disorder: 1. The occurrence of panic attacks is likely to be totally unexpected; therefore, they are often experienced as distressing, causing a subjective response of fear or help- lessness. Accordingly, panic attacks can be viewed as life-threatening experiences (McNally & Lukach, 1992; van Hagenaars, van Minnen, & Hoogduin, 2009). 2. Panic memories in panic disorder resemble traumatic memories in PTSD in the sense that the person painfully reexperiences the traumatic incident in the form of recurrent and distressing recollections of the event, including intrusive images and fl ashbacks (van Hagenaars et al., 2009).

  • Panic Attacks
    Information from your Patient Aligned Care Team Panic Attacks What is a panic attack? You may have had a panic attack if you experienced four or more of the symptoms listed below coming on abruptly and peaking in about 10 minutes. Panic Symptoms . Pounding heart . Feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint . Sweating . Feelings of unreality or being detached from yourself . Trembling or shaking . Fear of losing control or going crazy . Shortness of breath . Fear of dying . Feeling of choking . Numbness or tingling . Chest pain . Chills or hot flashes . Nausea or abdominal distress Panic attacks are sometimes accompanied by avoidance of certain places or situations. These are often situations that would be difficult to escape from or in which help might not be available. Examples might include crowded shopping malls, public transportation, restaurants, or driving. Why do panic attacks occur? Panic attacks are the body’s alarm system gone awry. All of us have a built-in alarm system, powered by adrenaline, which increases our heart rate, breathing, and blood flow in response to danger. Ordinarily, this ‘danger response system’ works well. In some people, however, the response is either out of proportion to whatever stress is going on, or may come out of the blue without any stress at all. For example, if you are walking in the woods and see a bear coming your way, a variety of changes occur in your body to prepare you to either fight the danger or flee from the situation. Your heart rate will increase to get more blood flow around your body, your breathing rate will quicken so that more oxygen is available, and your muscles will tighten in order to be ready to fight or run.
