About this episode

Ready for structure and daily support in your healing journey? Explore the 4-Week End The Anxiety Program at anxietyguyprograms.com designed to help you rewire anxious thinking and move beyond fear.

Podcast description:

In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis explores why healing anxiety often brings up fear, hesitation, and emotional resistance. You’ll discover how anxiety can quietly become part of your identity, and why your nervous system clings to familiar fear-based patterns, even when they no longer serve you.

We’ll dive into the hidden mindset blocks that keep you stuck, including fear of the unknown, subconscious resistance, and the survival brain’s preference for predictability. This is a must-listen if you're feeling confused about why progress stalls or why anxiety recovery can sometimes feel more overwhelming than the anxiety itself.
