Health Anxiety & the Fear of Normal: Why...

THE ANXIETY GUY
About this episode

Description: 

In this episode of The Health Anxiety Podcast, we dive deep into a hidden barrier to healing: the fear of normal. Many people with health anxiety unknowingly resist moments of ease, clarity, or stillness because they feel unsafe without constant symptoms, racing thoughts, or external triggers.

You'll learn:

  • Why the reduction of symptoms can feel more threatening than the symptoms themselves.

  • How health anxiety conditions the mind and body to stay in motion—whether through worry, bodily sensations, or compulsive behaviors.

  • The importance of allowing yourself small, safe doses of quietness, in thoughts, in sensations, and in your surroundings, to retrain your nervous system toward peace.

True recovery from health anxiety doesn't come from frantic reacting to every sensation or thought. It begins with curiosity, acceptance, and gradually making peace with stillness.

If you've ever felt unsettled when symptoms fade or when your mind gets quiet, this episode will help you understand why, and how to finally lean into the calm you've been seeking.
