  1. Media Content Disclaimer

Our digital content, including video materials available on this Site, may contain licensed visual media from third-party platforms such as Artlist, Motion Array, and iStock. All such media has been legally acquired under commercial use agreements. Some footage may include recognizable locations, cultural symbols, or branded elements. These are used strictly for illustrative purposes within a general and global context.

The inclusion of such footage should not be construed as an implication of any direct connection between the media shown and specific geographical areas, organizations, individuals, or psychological conditions such as stress, anxiety, or panic attacks. No location, symbol, or community is being singled out, criticized, or held responsible for any aspect of our content. gsPsychology AB has no affiliation with or endorsement from any specific brand, institution, or cultural representation that may appear in the video content.

Users agree not to draw conclusions or make interpretations about brand affiliations, building ownership, national landmarks, commercial events (such as festivals), architectural symbolism, or any recognizable entities depicted—whether in licensed, stock, or animated footage. All visual content is included solely for illustrative and educational purposes and is not intended to imply endorsement, criticism, or connection to any specific person, location, company, country, or institution.

The educational content produced by gsPsychology AB is designed to explore and explain scientifically supported phenomena related to stress, anxiety, and panic. It is based on current psychological and medical research and aligns with recognized diagnostic frameworks such as the ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).

This content is not intended to be defamatory, discriminatory, or stigmatizing toward any individual, brand, group, culture, or place. Any perceived resemblance to specific real-world sources or entities is purely coincidental and unintended.

Certain content provided through our digital materials, including but not limited to educational videos and visual illustrations, may depict scenes involving emotional distress or mild representations of violence. These are included solely to support the educational purpose of illustrating psychological phenomena such as panic, fear, or trauma responses.

gsPsychology AB does not endorse violence in any form, and any such depictions are fictional, symbolic, or licensed media designed to aid understanding of mental health topics. Viewer discretion is advised, especially for individuals sensitive to such content.

  1. No Implied Endorsement of Depicted Entities

The appearance of recognizable vehicles, buildings, architecture, or branded objects in background or stock footage does not imply endorsement, involvement, or authorization by their owners. All such content is incidental, illustrative, and without connection to the psychological themes presented in the program.

  1. Professional Licensing Disclaimer

gsPsychology AB is a Sweden-based company, and its founder is licensed as a psychologist in Sweden, credentialed by the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen). We do not claim licensure or authority to practice psychology or offer clinical services in other countries. All content provided is for general educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to constitute or replace professional psychological treatment, therapy, or healthcare in any jurisdiction.

  1. Health and Regulatory Disclaimer

The content and materials made available by gsPsychology AB, including digital programs and videos, are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or psychological condition. These materials have not been reviewed or approved by any national or international regulatory authority. All users are advised to consult with a licensed healthcare professional in their local jurisdiction before acting on any information presented.

  1. Health & Wellness Disclaimer

This Site contains general wellness information for educational purposes only. It does not replace professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have about a medical condition.

The information provided by gsPsychology AB, including any programs, videos, or services, is intended to support general wellbeing and mental health education. While we strive to offer high-quality, research-informed content, individual experiences may vary. gsPsychology AB cannot be held responsible for any outcomes related to the use or interpretation of this material, and we encourage all users to consult with a qualified healthcare provider when making decisions about their mental health.

By using this Site and its content, you acknowledge and accept that the material is informational in nature and is not a substitute for professional care. You agree that gsPsychology AB, its affiliates, and content creators are not liable for any harm, loss, or injury related to your use of the content.

  1. Rhetorical Language Disclaimer

Some expressions used in gsPsychology AB educational material—including, but not limited to, statements such as “ultimately resulting in freedom and flexibility,” “getting rid of the fear once and for all,” “breaking the feedback cycle for good,” “rid yourself of abnormal physical sensations for good,” or “it will calm down and leave you be—panic-free”—are intended to illustrate psychological mechanisms and motivational principles commonly used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These expressions reflect psychological tendencies rather than guarantees.

For instance, fear of unexpected nervous system activity often tends to trigger catastrophic thoughts, while fully accepting such activity often tends to reduce the likelihood of entering a negative cognitive spiral. The language used in this educational series is designed to highlight these therapeutic directions—not to promise any specific outcome or to constitute medical advice.

Such phrases are rhetorical and figurative in nature. They are used to promote engagement, support understanding, and motivate reflection. They do not constitute literal claims, diagnostic language, or professional treatment promises. All users are encouraged to interpret this material within its full psychoeducational and contextual framework.

  1. Use of Clinical Terminology Disclaimer

Some expressions used in gsPsychology AB educational material—including, but not limited to, terms such as “treatment,” “therapy,” “recovery,” “intervention,” “diagnosed,” “patient,” “relief,” or “psychological disorder”—are intended to illustrate psychological principles in an accessible, structured, or motivational manner.

Such terminology reflects commonly used language in educational and self-help contexts, and is employed here to support user understanding of complex psychological mechanisms. However, these terms do not imply the provision of medical or psychological care, diagnosis, or therapy in any legal, clinical, or regulatory sense.

This program does not constitute healthcare, does not establish a therapeutic relationship, and should not be interpreted as a substitute for individualized treatment by a licensed professional. All such language should be understood within its rhetorical and educational context.

  1. Motivational Language and Cognitive Outcomes

Some expressions used in gsPsychology AB educational material—including, but not limited to, statements such as “everything will make perfect sense”—are intended to encourage cognitive clarity and motivation. These phrases do not imply guaranteed insight, comprehension, or resolution for all users. Individual understanding may vary, and users are responsible for interpreting such language within the educational context of the program.

  1. Professional and Educational Use Disclaimer

The material provided through gsPsychology AB may be used by licensed healthcare professionals—such as psychologists, psychotherapists, physicians, and counselors—as part of their own clinical practice, in accordance with the laws, ethical guidelines, and professional standards of their respective jurisdictions. In such cases, gsPsychology AB is not acting as a healthcare provider and assumes no responsibility for the use of the material within a therapeutic or clinical context. Responsibility for patient care, assessment, and treatment remains solely with the treating professional.

Our programs and materials may also be used by students enrolled in accredited education or training programs within psychology, medicine, or other health sciences for non-clinical, educational purposes only. These materials are not a substitute for formal clinical training, supervision, or certification. Any use of the program in an academic or instructional setting must comply with the rules and standards of the institution and may not be interpreted as clinical guidance or therapeutic advice.

Under no circumstances should the program be considered a stand-alone clinical intervention, nor should its contents be interpreted as establishing a therapeutic relationship between gsPsychology AB and any user, patient, or institution.

20.1 Restrictions on Redistribution and Institutional Use

While gsPsychology AB programs may be incorporated by licensed professionals into their individual clinical work, access to the material is licensed on a strictly individual basis. The content may not be shared, redistributed, or made available to clients, patients, colleagues, or broader teams under a standard personal license.

This includes, but is not limited to, distribution within clinics, healthcare organizations, or digital health platforms. Unlike a physical book, this digital resource may not be lent, transferred, or used repeatedly across multiple individuals without prior written permission.

Any redistribution, institutional use, or integration into broader clinical workflows requires a separate licensing agreement. These agreements are not currently available via our website but can be arranged by contacting us directly. If your organization is interested in authorized redistribution or multi-user access, please reach out to initiate a custom agreement.

  1. Medical Visual Content Disclaimer

gsPsychology AB programs contains numerous visual representations of medical, anatomical, and physiological processes. These video clips are intended for educational purposes and are designed to illustrate general biological mechanisms, such as hormonal responses, brain activity, and organ function.

While care has been taken to ensure scientific accuracy, certain animations or portrayals may simplify, generalize, or symbolically represent complex medical processes. For example, the visual depiction of hormone secretion from the adrenal cortex or the release of endorphins may not fully reflect the precise biochemical or anatomical sequence as understood in medical science.

These visualizations should not be interpreted as exact or clinical models, but rather as illustrative aids to support understanding of psychological and physiological principles.

  1. Safety Notice for Exercises and Activities

gsPsychology AB programs includes a range of educational and self-directed exercises which may involve both psychological and physiological components. These exercises are intended to support understanding and insight but do not constitute or replace medical treatment, professional diagnosis, or supervised therapy.

Activities may include, but are not limited to, examples such as:
• Interoceptive exposure (e.g., 90 seconds of hyperventilation, breath-holding, or cold facial immersion)
• Cognitive or emotional challenges that simulate anxiety symptoms
• Physical activity such as running, swimming, interval training, or similar exertion-based tasks

Engaging in these exercises carries potential physical and psychological risks, including but not limited to: dizziness, light-headedness, hyperventilation-induced fainting, muscle tension, panic symptoms, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and emotional discomfort.

Important Precautions:
• Certain exercises (e.g., hyperventilation or cold exposure) should only be performed while seated or in a safe position to prevent falls or injury.
• Never perform any exercise that includes breath manipulation or pressure on the chest if you are alone, unsupervised, or in an unsafe environment.
• Exercises involving intense breathing or physical exertion should always be discontinued immediately if you experience strong dizziness, heart palpitations, numbness, tingling, or chest pain.
• Do not perform these exercises while driving, in water, near sharp objects, or in any situation where disorientation could cause harm.
• Some practices may deviate from standard clinical durations or supervision protocols and are included for illustrative or experiential purposes only.

By using this program, you acknowledge and agree that:
• You are solely responsible for determining whether any activity is appropriate, suitable, and safe for you.
• You will consult a licensed physician before participating in any activity that involves physical exertion or physiological manipulation—especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues, respiratory disorders, epilepsy, pregnancy, or any other condition that may increase risk).
• You will follow all applicable medical guidelines and public health recommendations in your region.
• You understand that all exercises are entirely voluntary and may be paused or discontinued at any time without penalty or consequence.

gsPsychology AB and affiliated parties accept no responsibility for injury, illness, medical incidents, emotional distress, or other negative outcomes resulting from the use or misuse of any content or activity described in this program. Participation is at your own risk.

You agree to assume all risks and release gsPsychology AB from any liability related to physical or psychological outcomes.
