It is important to inquire about your doctor or counselor’s practices beforehand. What kind of therapy do they generally recommend for the type of anxiety or panic disorder you are trying to overcome? You are not expected nor encouraged to participate in the therapy if you are not comfortable with it. You can always find another doctor or counselor elsewhere. Successful therapy must see the patient working with the therapist, not against him or her.

Another issue is your existing anxiety medication. If you are on any medication then the therapist or doctor must work with along with the treatment for the drug. Many prescriptions drugs cannot be quit abruptly because of serious withdrawal side effects. Therefore, it’s important to communicate with your physician before making any drastic changes in treatment, especially when it involves medication.
