How it works
Breaks the conditioned fear association between internal body sensations and danger. Repeated voluntary exposure without catastrophe disconfirms the catastrophic prediction and reduces anxiety sensitivity.
Should be conducted with a trained therapist, at least initially. Exercises include spinning in a chair, running on the spot, breathing through a coffee straw. Distressing but highly effective.
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.
