Panic Attack Spiral Worksheets for Teens – CBT-Informed

A five-page CBT-informed worksheet set that helps teens see how a panic-maintenance spiral can build, map one personal pattern, examine short-term safety moves, review one panic moment without judgement, and plan one workable route change with professional support.
 

WHAT'S INSIDE:

How the Panic Spiral Builds: a visual psychoeducation map using one consistent sequence for body signals, thoughts, fear, attention, actions, short-term relief, and longer-term learning.
 

Map My Panic Spiral: a writable page for mapping one individual pattern with short notes, words, or sketches.
 

My Safety-Move Loop: prompts for noticing what a safety move does in the short term and what the brain may learn over time.
 

Replay One Panic Moment: a structured, non-judgemental review of one episode without requiring a long written account.
 

Change the Route: a collaborative planning page for choosing one supported next step rather than trying to change everything at once.
 

PERFECT FOR:

Therapists, counsellors, school wellbeing staff, and parents or trusted adults working with teens aged 13–17. Designed for individual therapy, counselling sessions, guided school support, or supported reflection at home.

WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE:
