A very big part of my mental health problems, is anxiety, so yeah, I am pretty much anxious all the time. I definitely "panicked" in my sessions, but for me it's kind of normal; sometimes I'm not even sure I'm having a panic attack or not, because a lot of the symptoms are just every day life for me.

I'm sure my therapist/psychologist did things like speaking more gently, choosing her words carefully, yadda yadda, but I don't recall her ever doing anything particularly significant. What can she do? Nothing, except get on with it.

I'm on Propranolol, now, and recently cancelled my CBT, after 16 or 17 sessions, so I guess I won't have to worry about anxiety in therapy, anymore, ... at least, not until I go for further help for my anxiety, OCD, and/or depression.

What's the protocol for when you panic?
