Riding The Wave: Workbook

The Mastery Of Anxiety And Panic For Adolescents: Riding The Wave workbook is designed to help you understand and overcome fear and panic. Written by leading experts, it offers effective strategies to help you overcome your fears, feel better, and stay well.

Overview

Mastery of Anxiety and Panic for Adolescents: Riding the Wave is a cognitive-behavioral program for adolescents aged 12–17 with panic disorder (PD) or panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA). Adapted from adult panic control treatment (PCT), it incorporates psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, interoceptive exposure, and situational exposure to reduce panic symptoms, avoidance, and misinterpretations of bodily sensations. The program includes a Therapist Guide and Client Workbook, plus an optional parent component to support collaborative care. It can be delivered in 11 weekly sessions or an intensive 8-day format, offering flexibility across clinical settings. Research shows significant reductions in panic severity, anxiety sensitivity, and depression, along with gains in confidence, academics, and relationships. Part of the Treatments That Work™ series, this structured, evidence-based program equips clinicians to effectively treat panic and anxiety in young people.
