TODAY I am proud to announce the release of PanicShield! PanicShield is free app that can help those suffering from panic attacks and panic disorder.
PanicShield contains 4 different tools to protect against panic attacks:
Guide: Learn about the mental mechanisms of panic attacks, how to use the other portions of this app, and find helpful internet resources.
Breathe: A simple paced breathing tool that can help calm you down before a potential panic attack or during a panic attack. Simply breathe in and out as the circle grows and shrinks.
Internal Exposure: Train your mind to not be afraid of certain internal bodily sensations that you may associate with an imminent panic attack. Based on interoceptive exposure therapy.
External Exposure: Train your mind to not fear certain external situations or activities that you may avoid out of fear of having a panic attack there. Based on systematic desensitization therapy.
If you want to recommend this app to any iPhone-toting friends or family, you can send them over to http://www.panicshield.org/
You're welcome! Here's a very decent anxiety help app I've been using!
I recommend tapping on Breathe in the top right corner. Do the breathing exercise and let me know how that works for you.
