[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Have not tried CBT with a counselor but have tried some on my own and haven't found it helpful especially in the throes of an attack. Same for yoga and mindfulness. Great when I feel calm. But when the panic comes on nothing helps.

Where does one find a CBT counselor? It took me forever to find just a regular therapist who was accepting new patients and took my insurance. [/quote]

If you are in the District, I can recommend the Capital Institute for Cognitive Therapy.  I called them earlier today, explained the situation, and they matched up with a counselor who has worked out well.  Didn't need to wait long either.

If your anxiety attacks are as bad as you describe, an emergency med like Ativan is called for.  I also second a more thorough investigation for POTS given beta blockers are working for you. [/quote]

Capital Institute is great. However, they don't take any insurance and are pretty expensive.[/quote]
