"I used to have panic attacks often. I felt like I couldn't breath and the wind had been knocked out of me. I felt paralyzed and drained. In therapy, I learned to identify my triggers of abandonment such as: co-dependency in relationships, low self esteem and how my perfectionism tendencies caused me to lose myself. I now have a place to go in my head when I feel overwhelmed to calm myself down and self regulate.  I have learned how to breathe." -Client Testimonial
