After completing a thorough assessment, Kim was diagnosed with Panic Disorder. As you work with Kim, you realize that she is able to fully recall her episodes of panic in great detail. As a therapeutic technique, you might ask Kim to:
  1. Think of something else entirely
  2. Develop a thought record
  3. Submit to the panic
  4. Close her eyes and think of a tropical, sandy beach
Explanation
Answer - B - Developing a thought record can be especially helpful when working with people who have panic disorders, as it requires the individual to recall why they were panicking and the outcome (i.e. whether any of their fears were realized). With both of these, the client has a better chance of achieving insight.
