Professional Training - Learning Programs for Professionals

Two recent research studies show dramatic effects, greatly reducing and/or eliminating frequent panic attacks and their significance in one-session. The results are obtained by addressing the problem in a new way, through a body approach and the Rhythmic Integration Rapid-Change Intervention.

Study 1:  Subjects went from 9.6 panic attacks in the month previous to the intervention to an average of .6 one week later; 0.2, one year later.  (Robbins, R. Body Approaches to the Treatment of Panic, in Schmidt and Warner, Panic: Origins, Insights and Treatment. 2002)

Study 2: With a different therapist, new subjects went from an average of 17.8 attacks to 0.8 the week after; 0.9 one year later.  [Robbins, R. (2010) Validating the One-Session Rhythmic Integration Panic Protocol (RIPP) Reduction of Panic Attack Frequency: Replication with New Facilitator.

Workshop Programs 

Workshop Programs for Mental Health Professionals are individually designed for specific settings and lengths according to interest, professional experience and goals. They range from 90 minutes to two and a half days (Longer if translation is required).  According to the time frame desired and the needs of the learners, presentations may be designed from the following topics:
  • The history of panic attack diagnosis; and the research and treatments around it.
  • Body Starters — without them there is no panic.
  • The change protocol demonstrated to significantly reduce panic attack frequency after one session.
  • The Rhythmic Integration and Bioenergetic base that underlies the process of change.
  • Find the historical reason underlying a person's panic process.
  • How to quickly extinguish the connection between panic thoughts and the arousal of disturbing feelings — Rhythmic Integration Repeated Sentences Technique.
  • Immediately changing Body Starter tensions — Rhythmic Integration Instant Image technique.
  • Applying the Panic Protocol to anxiety, irrational fears and phobias.
  • Understandings that takes the "craziness" out of panic.
  • Why the Panic Protocol works; and specifics of when it doesn't work.
  • Ways to overcome resistance and sticking points.
  • Ways to address medication usage.
  • Building a client base.
  • Personal work on panic and anxiety issue

When applicable participants receive helpful guides, papers, experiences and protocol formats that cover:
  • The initial interview.
  • The session outline.
  • The follow-up calls.
  • Supervision.

  • Individual instruction
  • Instant supervision

It's been very exciting to have started the Panic Project's Telephone Tutorial Program. It's allowed us to respond to requests from English-speaking mental health professionals around the country and abroad. With inexpensive phone calls now possible, none with a phone is out of reach.

Once started, we quickly realized the unique potentials of teaching from one to four people at a time. What a particular student needs can be attended to. Learning style and pace is accounted for. Working this way allows in-depth presentation, immediate clarification is possible, supervision can be given at the point when a person begins to see clients. The learning is thorough. The process had been delightful for both teacher and student.

There is another advantage to the Tutorial Program. First steps in applying the protocol can be carefully supervised: supports available, questions answered, misapplications corrected. This allows for the development of a solid base from which one feels comfortable to move forward.
