Panic Attacks: Understand the Alarm – CBT Mini Workbook for Teens

A structured, teen-friendly panic attack workbook that turns a confusing body alarm into something a young person can notice, map, and talk through. Across ten coordinated pages, teens learn how panic builds, explore their own body signals and thoughts, notice safety behaviours, and create a practical plan with a therapist, counsellor, parent, or trusted adult.
 

WHAT'S INSIDE:

Sectioned learning: a clear introduction to panic attacks, the body’s alarm system, body signals, thoughts, sensations, safety behaviours, and the panic cycle.
 

Interactive pages: My Panic Body Map, Map Your Panic Cycle, My Panic Snapshot, Safety Behaviours, My Panic Action Plan, and Progress + Back-on-Track planning.
 

Flexible responses: space to write, draw, rate, circle, check options, and talk through prompts rather than relying on long written answers.
 

Named pages: Panic Attacks: Understand the Alarm · How to Use This Workbook · What Is a Panic Attack? · The Body Alarm System · My Panic Body Map · Map Your Panic Cycle · My Panic Snapshot · Safety Behaviours · My Panic Action Plan · Progress + Back on Track.
