Help Your Child Overcome Panic

A specialist kids program. Self-guided at home, or with a therapist guiding your child every step of the way.

A structured, evidence-based program to help your child overcome panic. Designed for families to work through together.

Understanding Panic

Panic disorder is often described as the fear of fear itself. After one or more panic attacks (racing heart, dizziness, derealization, the sense you might die or go crazy) it is very easy to fall into a cycle of anxiety and fear. We begin to scan for signs of panic, which means we notice them more often, which causes distress so we scan more - and the cycle escalates. Bia is designed to help us break this cycle of fear, by reversing it in small, incremental steps. Bia provides lessons explaining the science behind this fear and helps you practice evidence-proven skills in short daily exercises.

Common signs of panic

  • Racing heart or palpitations
  • Dizziness, derealization, or depersonalization
  • Shortness of breath or chest tightness
  • Fear of dying, going crazy, or losing control
  • Anticipatory anxiety between attacks
  • Avoidance of places where attacks have happened or could be inescapable

Our clinical approach: interoceptive exposure

The Science of Recovery

Retraining the Brain

Read the science behind recovery

Anxiety is the brain's natural alarm process out of balance. When we avoid a trigger, the brain learns the threat is real, and will trigger more discomfort next time, creating a vicious loop called the avoidance cycle.

Bia uses ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention) to help the brain unlearn fear through small, incremental exercises. Instead of reacting to triggers, build skills with proactive practice.

Bia provides pre-built recovery plans made of 80+ interactive activities for you and your child to complete at your own pace.
