Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is a fear of particular kinds of public space where a person might not be able to escape from them if they have a panic attack - such as on a bus or in a shopping centre. It can lead to becoming totally withdrawn into a house, because the anticipation of having panic attacks outside the property grows too great.

Ideas could be around music that is reassuring

in the mind; or, music that helps to match a breathing rate at a slow enough pace to stay calm
while also creating a clear enough mind to focus
until a panic episode has passed.
