Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PCT includes exposure to interoceptive sensations, which involves intentionally inducing physical sensations that typically trigger panic attacks in order to help the person learn to manage those sensations and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks. Option B is incorrect as minimizing heart rate at all times is not a recommended approach and could potentially be dangerous. Option C may be used in conjunction with therapy, but is not a part of PCT. Option D is also not a part of PCT as it is a form of psychotherapy that may be used for other mental health conditions, but not specifically for panic disorder.
