How Trauma Contributes
Survivors of traumatic relationships often develop panic attacks triggered by emotional reminders of past abuse, causing heightened sensitivity and anxiety. These attacks can also affect current relationships, making it hard to trust or feel secure.
Seeking Help
Therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help break the cycle of panic, manage trauma, and rebuild healthy emotional responses. Mindfulness and relaxation strategies are also effective tools for managing symptoms.
