Hello dear client,
Try to see such videos if you want whenever you are on bed or on any sitting posture and while you getting panic while watching those videos just take a break and pause the video and observe your body symptoms and slowly have a self talk of I am safe and can easily come out of this situation.
This will help you slowly manage your panics and also will reduce your phobia. But it will take time.

Phobias aren't something we are born with, we develop it in our unconscious mind at some point of time. You can come out of this with clinical hypnotherapy.
