In this episode, we dissect the fabric of health anxiety, exploring the dichotomy between the lower self and the higher self. We unravel the reasons why we tend to take the interpretations of our irrational minds too seriously and the influence of our core beliefs shaped by past experiences.

In this episode you will learn,

  • What health anxiety really is and how you got to where you are today
  • How health anxiety must be approached 
  • Best practical practices for health anxiety relief

If the anxiety guy podcast is helping you on your path towards healing please share with someone or an anxiety support group in need. It would mean so much to me. 

Enjoy!
