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

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 teen to complete at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions about panic
What should I do during a panic attack?
Remind yourself that it is a panic attack and that it will pass, breathe low and slow with a longer breath out, and let the sensations rise and fall without fighting them. Attacks usually peak within about 10 minutes. These skills help in the moment, and Bia's program works on the bigger goal: fewer attacks, and less fear of the next one.
How do I know it's a panic attack and not my heart?
Panic attacks can feel exactly like a medical emergency, which is part of what makes them so frightening. If you have never had your symptoms checked by a doctor, please do that first. If your symptoms are new, different, or you are unsure, call emergency services. Once medical causes have been ruled out, Bia helps you learn to respond to those sensations without fear.
Can panic attacks be stopped for good?
For many people, yes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure is the most researched treatment for panic disorder, and most people who complete it see a large drop in attacks and in the fear of having one. Bia guides you through that same approach in short daily sessions, at your own pace.
Can I use Bia if I take medication for panic?
Yes. Many people use Bia alongside medication. Bia does not replace medical care, so talk to your prescriber before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
What is interoceptive exposure?
Interoceptive exposure means practicing the body sensations that trigger panic, such as a fast heartbeat or dizziness, in small, controlled steps, for example by running in place or spinning in a chair. Each time, your brain learns those sensations are safe and the alarm gets quieter. Bia builds these exercises into your plan gradually, and you always control the pace.
What age group is Bia for?
Bia for Teens is designed for ages 13 to 17. Your teen gets the standard layout with mature content hidden, and you keep the parent PIN. If your teen would rather manage their own account, the adult version lets them hide mature content in settings.
Can I use Bia by myself?
Yes. Bia is designed to work as a self-guided tool. It provides a personalized recovery plan, interactive lessons, and step-by-step guided exercises for practicing evidence-based recovery techniques.
Can I use Bia with a therapist?
Yes. Bia provides a provider portal where therapists can monitor your progress, create custom exercises, and support your recovery journey.
How much time does it take?
Individual sessions are short. We recommend 10–15 minutes a day, 3 to 4 times a week. Bia builds a personalized step-by-step journey based on your unique needs, so completing the full journey is different for everyone. Typically, a journey includes over 55 exercises and 19 lessons across 9 milestones.
What do you do with my data?
Bia never shares your account data with third parties. You can view and delete your data at anytime. Good privacy is simple, you own your data.
