The 'Panic Mountain' worksheet is a crucial psychoeducational tool for children who experience panic or intense anxiety. By comparing panic to climbing a difficult mountain, it demystifies the experience and puts the child in control. The activity guides them through a 6-step process: Spotting the trail signs (early panic signs), Checking their altitude (rating panic 1-10), Naming the peak (what happens at the worst point), and most importantly, Planning the Descent with coping skills. This structure helps kids recognize their body's alarm, apply specific tools to de-escalate, and Mark their Victory when they successfully navigate the panic.
