Therapy helped Ellie Goulding battle panic attacks

Singer Ellie Goulding, who used to suffer panic attacks, says cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helped her to get rid of the problem.

It all started when the 26-year-old was travelling in a train at the age of five and she felt she was having a heart attack. It turned out to be the first of many terrifying incidents, which left her terrified to go anywhere, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"From that day, I kept having them. It was the weirdest time of my life. Sick, horrible things would go through my mind, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself... It got to the point when I couldn't even get into the car and go to the studio," said Goulding.

"I went to see an amazing woman to have CBT and she flushed everything out. It took a lot of going back to my childhood," she added.
