Description: Health anxiety relief is possible, very possible. Many times when health a anxiety sufferers stop telling themselves the same debilitating story, health anxiety relief can be managed and conquered. The fear of the symptoms of anxiety lessens due to being desensitized by the fears that were keeping them alive in the past.
Losing interest in those fearful feelings people with health anxiety have takes patience, and a deep understanding. An understanding that goes beyond hoping for a miracle solution, which doesn't exist. habits become ingrained into a health anxiety suffer due to consistently practicing a certain way of thinking, what to believe, and actions that follow this pattern.
Health Anxiety Relief Starts With The Willingness To Become Knowledgeable, And The Willingness To Change.
There are always three Stages/Waves a person with health anxiety experience in the moment:
1) The recognition of a feeling - an awareness of the sensations
2) Second is the curiosity about what it is and why it manifested - Bewilderment, confusion,
3) What must I do right now to make it go away - determination, to fight, to run from
Understanding these waves as well as this powerful video on health anxiety relief will go a long way towards your natural recovery from health anxiety.

    I have good days and not so good days. On good days I feel like I can handle any anxiety that comes my way, I'm like "bring it on". Some other days I get tricked by it yet again, no matter how many times It has come up It tricks me into thinking this time is different no matter how many times I've been thru this. I keep up the gradual exposure to fear, and then keep reminding myself that I must not oppose, reject, or avoid the feeling. If I don't do well this time, I just tell myself there is always another opportunity to do better next time to react with a new belief, and that belief is that it is not dangerous, it is just discomfort and that is okay.

    Rule number one...do NOT google your symptoms! For the love of god. It is so tempting but I’ve learned, googling your symptoms is the worst idea. If you’re having symptoms that you really are concerned, call your primary. Get evaluated and then if everything is fine (which I bet it is) you’ll have your peace of mind. But do not look it up. I’ve made so many self diagnoses and then obsessed over so many made up illnesses I never had. And usually, what my symptoms turned out to be were usually something I never even thought of or the last thing I expected that wasn’t nearly as dangerous as what I expected. People with health anxiety self diagnose obsessively. You are not a doctor.

    Dennis, something FANTASTIC happened!!! I believe YOU were the one that helped me raise the bar! I'm highly symptomatic and terribly agoraphobic! I know you have heard of "Flooding", a complete immersion into the feared place (or thing). I was going to just walk around my apartment building. But, I told myself to push the boundaries!! I FLOODED by going all the way to the grocery, getting every item on the list, checkout, and head home. I DID IT!! I ALSO STOPPED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF A TREE!! I audio recorded my adventure and plan to do daily "flooding" head on, learning to tame my emotions, accept my symptoms, AND BECOME A WARRIOR!!! Dennis, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!! WOW!!!!!!

    Was freaking out earlier this evening about some annoying symptoms I'm dealing with. As soon as I started googling the symptoms my anxiety spiraled causing a panic attack and I started imagining other symptoms. Watching this video makes me feel so much better, even if I do have a disease or something (which I probably don't) not having a victim mentality makes all the difference.

    You are so right to about not being able to heal when you wallow to much in your pain. I learned this while healing from Narc abuse, which I’m still healing from, but I’ve made huge strides since this dawned on me. For yrs, all I did for hours in a day, was watch videos on narcissism. I literally got to the point where I was addicted. I was wallowing in the negativity, replaying the scenarios in my mind. I could not let it go. Finally one day I decided to stop watching the videos so much. I was able to start focusing on my passions once again. I began to reconnect with parts of my soul I hadn’t seen in yrs. to this day now I rarely watch those videos. Usually only once in a while when I just want to comment and share my knowledge, but I don’t do it anymore to simply hear about narcissism. I’ve already learned about it enough to probably have a PhD in it. Don’t get me wrong, it has its time and place, especially when the pain is raw and you need to learn about what you went through. But at some point, you have to let go of the pain.

    I totally agree! I realized one day a few years ago that if I was powerful enough to manifest ACTUAL physical symptoms out of my imagination, then rather this being a total curse, what if we're master and natural manifestors? I try to focus now on how I can manifest health and calm and peace. It's not always easy though, but I think those of us with health anxiety and high sensitivity are really often gifted it's just we're not taught to recognize it or use it in positive ways.

    Having been to Tony Robbins UPW event, I unfortunately did NOT address this issue because i wasn't feeling "it" at the time... So I chose to ignore it and focus on other issues. This was obviously a HUGE mistake. I've had this for almost 40 years (since i was 7 years old).. I can't ignore it anymore.. I know I am a warrior. I know I am an outstanding voice for change.. I've already exhibited this to myself and countless others I have helped... However, when something minor happens within my body, it completely derails me and robs me of being the person i know i am.... in fact... Today is the first day in 40 years that I am proclaiming and admitting to myself and others that I do have health anxiety... This is tough to do because I've always been viewed at and looked up to as the superman who can fix anything and there's such a societal stigma around the word "anxiety" that i didn't want to believe this superman could EVER be a victim.... Today is the day that I acknowledge that this is an ongoing issue and ignoring it simply will not make it vanish and emotional illnesses are fed exponentially by isolation.. So I am reaching out... The roller coaster ride of feeling like a warrior one month and feeling like a beaten puppy who's convinced he's dying the next has to stop.... Now..

But, listening to this lifted me up and I began to see, even a little bit, that I CAN become the warrior I want to be! Well meaning doctors have NO CLUE as to what a person with an anxiety disorder is suffering from. So, I felt lost trying to find a therapist who "gets it". THEY DON'T!! I wish I could afford you as my one on one, but no money equals no one on one. Thanks for all the videos and podcasts!! My tools for sure!! I suffer extreme skin burning (parasthesia) all over my body. I cry through the pain. But, I need to not focus on it either! I need to put on my "Warrior Suit", change my reactions, emotions, and thoughts, and see what is the underlying factor! Maybe my reactions are the fuel that keeps the painful parasthesias alive!! Thanks, Dennis!

    I’m still a minor but I’m already having pretty bad anxiety. It’s kept getting worse and it got to the point where I almost dialed 911 because I convinced myself my family died in a car crash while I was alone at home, when in fact my mom just had her ringer off. I feel like I’m in a prison right now, wanting to pursue my dreams but prevented from that because of this chain. Thank you for making videos like this, it helps me control my feelings while I’m struggling with them. It means a lot.

    RedDawg06 Xxx It's truly a subconscious problem and one where many people don't recognize the importance of not only changing their mental processes, but their physiological ones too. I remember a time where I truly wanted to accomplish a goal, I stuck to a strategy and I got it. The way my body, posture, breathing habits looked in that moment was enough to deflect any fears that came my way. The body and mind are one, feel and look the part, it's important.

    Hi Dennis, I have suffered with extreme vertigo and head pressure for ten years now and its getting worse. All tests come up negetive. It is hard to believe that it is just anxiety because its so bad somedays i can barley walk. I am a full time web developer/youtuber so luckily working is not too bad because i can take a break whenever i want. My question is do you think this could just be anxiety also do you think it is possible to take my mind off something like this that bothers me so much? Even if it affects my balance? I dwell on it all day

    Traversy Media I think the last sentence in that comment is important, when you dwell on it so much. The truth is emotional fatigue is something common with anxiety sufferers. This can cause many of the symptoms you experience. It's important that at this stage you also begin learning how to speak the language of your mind that is reacting with anxiety. This means thoughts and images. Altering both and using the shift to prove to your mind that it's safe to go form anxious to empowered. I go much deeper into this through the end the anxiety program: anxietyexit.com/my-program/

I know this sounds ridiculous but I couldn't actually get past the advert about oncology :( I'm going to give it another go in a bit but I thought you should know as maybe there is a way of making sure illness related ads don't come up before your videos? There might not be in which case it's just something I (and others) just need to see as yet another hurdle to get over. All the best and looking forward to watching the video in a bit and taking on board your strategies and just getting through this thing. Thanks!!

    The thing about power is very enlightening because it's true.

Cause it takes a hell of a lot of brain power and focus to create the fears and sensations etc that we do. A truly huge amount.

    hey Dennis, I suffer from very high anxiety myself for 18 years I was on ativan then they told me that I had to be taken off of it and they put me on anti-depressants but the antidepressants don't work as good as the Ativan did. I deal with the high heart rate the blood pressure burning sensation underneath the skin including being dizzy and ringing of the ears racing thoughts plus I just had my ears cleaned out and the doctor said it's all clear now yet I still worry about it so I understand this to be anxiety for a while I thought it was Meniere's disease but then I look up anxiety attacks these symptoms are pretty much the same almost so I have learnt to understand that anxiety is very serious disease thank you for all your videos although I'm a newcomer you made quite an impression on me

I lost a great deal of weight. However, my anxiety became so bad, that my only choices was to use food to cope, or have debilitating anxiety. Two therapists did nothing for me, and the nurse suggested I find you. You have helped me tremendously. I just need help with Anxiety eating. I am going to book a session with you as soon as I can.

    Sheeba Naqvi As long as a sufferer associates themselves with being anxiety, and carrying that label around with them, change becomes difficult. The quicker we can understand that our anxious behaviours are just things we do and not who we are as a person, the less tension we hold and faster we can replace those old habits.

    When you talk about deeper issues, I think of my own fears relating to sexually transmitted diseases and stuff, and sometimes I feel it's not just my health anxiety, but also the kind of sexual shame and guilt that was put into me with my upbringing, and which I myself might unconsciously keep reinforcing over and over. It's so hard to live like this because I'm twenty one and I'm scared of even kissing a person thinking I may pick up some kind of infection.

    I agree with what you say but it's so hard. My anxiety had been almost gone the last few months. Then lately I noticed I'd been getting light headed alot. Started when going from sitting to standing but now I even get it when sitting. Head feels fuzzy/swimming quite often. Its so easy to fall into the what ifs and really I dont think it can be my anxiety - light headedness is caused by lack of blood flow to the head. Now the health anxiety is back in full force afraid I have a heart problem all over again and it's stopping my blood getting to my head. And to me this isnt an irrational thought, it seems logical because of my symptoms

    Okay, but I'm convinced that I've had 2 heart attacks in my life and that a 3rd and fatal one is right around the corner. Doctors have done tests and that's reassured me for maybe a couple of days, but the fear always comes back. I know for a fact that I have heart disease and that I'm going to die soon, and I've been positive about this ever since I've been a kid. Nothing in this or any video has reassured me that I'm healthy and I'm very afraid that nothing ever will. Yes I've also been in therapy, gotten pretty much every self-help book ever made, and there's nothing left for me. I'm really just hoping I get to the point where I want to die so badly that I'm not afraid of death anymore, and that I'd actually look forward to a heart attack. Then finally maybe my health anxiety would go away.

    I've had health anxiety in the past...It's not the main focus of my anxiety at the moment but everything in this video is relevant and transferable to ALL anxiety disorders. Very good tip about using my past self to question my emotions...going to take that forward!!! The bottom line of all my fears is either 1) being abandoned by those who love me i.e. abandonment/rejection, or 2) being in an insurmountable situation I cannot cope with i.e death. No matter the thought that is worrying me they all boil down to one of these fundamental fears. My constant asking for reassurance from my family is keeping this fear alive. I know rationally that the cure does not lie with them but rather within my reaction/perception to/of my own thoughts. It's easier said than done but the quick fix of gaining reasurance from people simply isn't working in the long run I need to change...I need to become more self reliant when dealing with a thought or emotion. Keep asking if everything is okay with my family does not solve the anxiety...it just reinforces the need to ask if everything is okay; a vicious circle if you will. It seems so easy as I type this...and I know it is easier said than done...but everything I've tried so far has not worked in the long run...so even though this way maybe more painful in the short term in the long term I may become much more self assured the future.

I went to 3 doctors and they did these tests but not any scans. They said it’s all anxiety.

I am suddenly worried that what if the music I listen to and love is having a negative impact, then I am thinking, well maybe that's just anxiety telling me that. I do not watch lots of TV, only time I find myself watching tv is for a particular series, but do not bother with day TV. Also came across the affirmation video you have, will make that a tool I use everyday, it's a brilliant video. Also looking at what I want to do long term with my life, instead of odd jobs here and there, something that will challange, help keep me out of unhealthy comfort circles
