What is a Panic Attack?
Also know as anxiety attacks, or panic disorder, one third of the population experience panic attacks at some stage in their lives. The experience is extremely powerful, often overwhelming with sufferers often thinking they may be having a heart attack, mental breakdown or dying. Norwegian painter Edvard Munch was known to suffer panic attacks, as depicted in his painting the Scream.
Despite being such a profound and scary experience, the good news is that they are remarkably easy to treat. Indeed most of our clients never have another panic after the first session which they can’t completely control within the first minute.*
Panic occurs when someone gets anxious, feels the anxiety and worries about it which then increases the feelings of anxiety which makes them even more worried and so on. The anxiety snowballs making the sufferer feel even more out of control and so on. This can last anything from a minute or two or for hours. It often leads to avoiding certain situations, e.g lifts, busy places, crowds, motorways, planes, cinemas, or anywhere where there seems to be no easy exit (often thought of as claustrophobia or agoraphobia). It can also cause increased monitoring of the body to check for an impending attack: “How’s my heart rate, how are my palms, does my chest feel OK?”, and ‘self-diagnosing’.
What if you can be cured in two to four sessions?*
At The Human Performance Clinic we have been working with this problem in all its varieties and guises. Because of the variety of forms that panic takes it is sometimes misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety, social phobia, or a lack of confidence. However in most cases we help in 2 to 4 sessions.*

Frequently Asked Questions About Panic Attacks Treatment

The experience can include raised heartbeat, sweating, shaking and difficulty breathing. Sufferers often think they may be having a heart attack or mental breakdown, but the good news is they are remarkably easy to treat.

At HPC we have been working with panic attacks in all their varieties and guises for over 35 years. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
Q: Can panic attacks be confused with other conditions?
Yes, because of the variety of forms that panic takes it is sometimes misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety, social phobia or a lack of confidence. At HPC we take the time to understand exactly what you are experiencing so we can provide the right treatment. Our free initial consultation helps us identify the true nature of your condition.
Q: What situations trigger panic attacks?
Common triggers include lifts, busy places, crowds, motorways, planes, cinemas or anywhere where there seems to be no easy exit. This is often thought of as claustrophobia or agoraphobia. Panic can also be triggered by increased monitoring of the body, checking for signs of an impending attack, which itself creates more anxiety.
Q: How does hypnotherapy treat panic attacks?
Panic occurs when someone gets anxious, feels the anxiety and worries about it, which then increases the feelings of anxiety further. This anxiety snowballs, making the sufferer feel more out of control. Hypnotherapy breaks this cycle at the unconscious level, changing the automatic patterns that trigger and escalate panic attacks.
Q: Can I bring someone to my panic attacks consultation?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a partner or friend to sit in with you during your consultation. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your specific issues and how we can help solve them. Contact us on 0141 337 3327 to arrange your appointment at our Glasgow West End clinic.
