✨ Today's Episode:

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Dennis dives into the real reason chronic stress never seems to let go, and the exact nervous-system principles that finally melt it at the root. This isn't another episode about "managing" stress or trying harder to relax. Instead, Dennis breaks down the seven most important shifts he discovered through his own recovery and through working with thousands of anxiety sufferers around the world.

You'll learn why living at 95–100% of your capacity keeps your system stuck in survival mode, how tiny 3–5 second "micro-drop" moments create real nervous-system safety, why your evenings matter more than your mornings, and how identity, not willpower shapes your stress baseline.

This anxiety guy podcast episode is slow, grounding, and designed to speak directly to your body, not just your mind. If you've been feeling tired-but-wired, constantly bracing, or unable to relax without forcing yourself… this is the episode you've been waiting for.

✅ Key Takeaways:

  • Chronic stress drops when you intentionally live 20–30% below your capacity, giving your nervous system the space it needs to stop bracing and finally reset.

  • Micro-drop moments repeated throughout the day create real safety, teaching your system to downshift through tiny cues rather than big, forced routines.

  • Your identity determines your baseline, and shifting from "stressed person" to "safe person" rewires the nervous system so calm becomes the default instead of the exception.
