help with panic attacks ?

Mary
Since August of last year I've been getting panic attacks and they've been getting more and more frequent . My therapist says they are caused by my boyfriend . I flinch at almost everything. My best friend went to give me a high five yesterday and I reacted like she was going to hit me or something. So I've become a very anxious person in general and it's affecting things in my life. Is there a way besides medication that can help me with this?
