Heal step-by-step with daily guidance → 🔵 Click Here ✨ Today's Health Anxiety Podcast Episode: All or nothing thinking is one of the most invisible patterns keeping health anxiety and nervous system dysregulation alive. In this episode of the health anxiety podcast show, we explore how turning healing into a pass or fail test quietly keeps the body in survival mode, even when you understand anxiety intellectually. When symptoms, emotions, and sensations are constantly evaluated, judged, or measured, the nervous system never receives the message that it is safe. You will learn why this thinking pattern is not a flaw or a mistake, but a protective response that developed over time. We discuss how all or nothing thinking conditions the body to believe that safety only exists when you feel calm, symptom free, or "better," and why that expectation creates ongoing tension, monitoring, and self-doubt. ▶️ Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts · Spotify · YouTube · Episode Archive → 🔵 Apple Podcasts · 🔵 Spotify 🔵 Episode Archive 👥 Connect With Dennis: Instagram · YouTube · Facebook Support → 🔵 Instagram (@theanxietyguy) · 🔵 YouTube · 🔵 Facebook Support 📝 Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Why Trying to "Calm Down" Keeps You Stuck in Health Anxiety
05/12/2025 | 15 mins.
🎓 Start Here: The 12-Week Health Anxiety Recovery Program Ready to stop fearing symptoms and retrain your nervous system back to safety? Heal step-by-step with daily guidance → 🔵 Click Here ✨ Today's Health Anxiety Podcast Episode: In this episode, Dennis breaks down one of the most important and overlooked shifts in health anxiety recovery: moving away from trying to fix every sensation and learning how to let the body breathe, loosen, and settle on its own. Most people with health anxiety, chronic anxiety, or panic symptoms spend their entire day searching for techniques, chasing relief, and trying to force their nervous system into calm. But science shows that this constant internal pressure keeps the amygdala activated, keeps the body in survival mode, and reinforces the cycle of symptom fear, hypervigilance, and catastrophic thinking. In this gentle, grounded episode, Dennis teaches why allowing your breathing to be what it is, loosening the body instead of bracing, and letting uncomfortable sensations move through without immediate intervention is one of the most profound forms of nervous-system rewiring. You'll learn how health anxiety symptoms, racing thoughts, chest tightness, dizziness, derealization, and all the sensations that come with a dysregulated system begin to soften when you stop forcing calm and stop trying to control the moment. This episode guides you into a new relationship with your inner experience, one based on permission, not pressure; safety, not urgency. If you're tired of searching for the right technique, tired of feeling trapped by body scanning, symptom checking, and the fear of every new sensation… this health anxiety podcast episode will help you understand why nothing has "worked" yet, and what finally will. 🎁 Freebies: Join the email community and receive weekly insights, calm‐nervous‐system tools, and updates → 🔵 Click Here ▶️ Listen & Subscribe: Apple Podcasts · Spotify · YouTube · Episode Archive → 🔵 Apple Podcasts · 🔵 Spotify 🔵 Episode Archive 👥 Connect With Dennis: Instagram · YouTube · Facebook Support → 🔵 Instagram (@theanxietyguy) · 🔵 YouTube · 🔵 Facebook Support 📝 Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
