Dinah,
First of all, I am relatively new here, but I have enjoyed your thought-provoking and insightful posts. The family struggles you've shared with us could very well be contributing your panic attacks. Did you notice that they reoccured again when things escalated with your parents?
I personally think you are wise to step back and put your own needs on the forefront, at least for now. Being a wife and mother while holding down a demanding job can be a challenge. I'm right there with you on that, but instead of panic attacks, my problems manifest themselves by worsening my depression and putting me in a melancholy mood.
It is ironic that the panic attacks were the reason you initially sought treatment. Hopefully, ou and your therapist can work through it this time as well. Take care and be well.
