Worksheets for panic cycles, interoceptive exposure, safety behaviour reduction, and catastrophic misinterpretation.
A formulation based on Clark's cognitive model of panic — mapping the vicious cycle of catastrophic misinterpretation of body sensations.
~25 min
Record panic episodes with triggers, sensations, catastrophic thoughts, safety behaviours, and actual outcomes to identify patterns and build evidence against catastrophic predictions.
~10 min
Log interoceptive exposure exercises that deliberately produce feared body sensations to break the link between sensations and catastrophic interpretations.
~15 min
Challenge catastrophic misinterpretations of body sensations by examining evidence and generating realistic alternatives.
~15 min
Gather normalising evidence by surveying others about whether they experience the same body sensations and fears — challenging the belief that your experience is abnormal.
