How it works
Targets experiential avoidance — the tendency to suppress or escape internal experiences — which maintains panic. ACT promotes willingness to experience discomfort while pursuing meaningful activities.
Particularly suited to people who have tried traditional CBT with limited success, or whose panic is entangled with avoidance of valued life activities.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
