Abstract

<p>Background : There have been reports of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for panic disorder cases. Generally, stabilization techniques are used before introducing EMDR. We report a case in which improvement in panic disorder and changes in self-control came by using a stabilization technique.</p><p>Case : The patient was a woman in her twenties with a panic disorder and depressive state. She underwent “extended containment technique” for mild palpitation in hospitals and anxiety due to panic symptoms when getting on a train. Her Subjective Units of Disturbance score (SUDs) decreased. She also appreciated the effect and decided to practice by herself. She also practiced “safe place exercise” and was able to ride the Shinkansen. As a result, she developed confidence and self-control, and gained awareness of over-adaptation.</p><p>Discussion : Stabilization techniques help reduce panic symptoms, improve self-control, and may also affect patterns of over-adapted interpersonal relationships.</p>
