Hi anxiety guy... love your knowledge thank you ... just wondering will you or have you made any videos on how we can uncover the deeper issues to be able to heal anxiety?
I have constant chest pains. I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. I have seen a cardiologist and he said my heart was fine but my body tries to tell me otherwise . These videos have helped me out in so many ways. People we will overcome and even if we have another attack we know we are strong and we will get through it .
I'm exactly the same! I get chest pains everyday. I've had lots of tests and the cardiologist said everything is normal yet everyday I'm scared theres something wrong with my heart. Its exhausting!
Thanks Dennis I am brainwashed in a good way my anxiety is more and more fading away m,this healing journey is the best thing that happened in my life ❤️
What has helped me tremendously, when I start having an anxiety/panic attack I tell myself it's not real. It's a false alarm. These videos have been a guiding light for me over the past year. Thank you 😊
You know what that’s true when I am having anxiety and it about to spark badly I tell myself Jenni it’s not real and it calms me down and I take action and I come to hear him or I just walk or I breath and then I breath better and the right head tight shoulder do stop and I come back to normal state of mind and also when I’m at work I work in a chair sitting all days talking to people for 8 hours and I only ahve 30 min break I tell myself hey it’s not real
@@jennifer_reyes_9490 hey check out Dr. Claire Weeks, her book changed my life! I'm in acceptance therapy now, and facing my phobias. Also the society coach podcast is incredibly validating and calming. Best wishes on your journey, seems you're uncovering the trick that is fear and anxiety!
Amazing !!! Hi Dennis. Doing the End the anxiety program. You say to reframe trauma we need to have an image cycle of what we would have instead liked to have seen, heard and felt in that moment but when someone young suddenly passed away and that was the trauma how to change that? What to visualise ? that the person is still there? But the brain knows it is not true. Please guide how to go about it.
@@lizsantarsiero2382 Yes as soon as you wake up its there all day effects everything you do doesn't lighten up it only gets worse. Yes its a pain in A.. I been dealing with it for years
ua-cam.com/video/kSZKIupBUuc/v-deo.html this double inhale and exhale helps a lot too. I hope everyone suffering out there finds a way to get better , feels better and I hope it lasts.
I’m trying hard. I’ve always had anxiety but never had health anxiety until the last few months, and it’s been crippling. Staying at home all day. Sleeping a lot. Been tested and told I’m healthy but then something comes up- a twitch in my head, a headache, a random pain, and then it doesn’t end. I pray for strength and I pray that you also find peace in your heart and soul. It’s amazing how it snowballs and these videos do help, but it’s just tough sometimes. The never ending worry. The over reaction of any symptom and googling / searching. I’m working so hard at acceptance. Please pray for me that I can overcome this and break this cycle
If the person were well enough to ask themselves all of these logical questions that the author is promulgating he or she wouldn't have a problem to begin with.
Hi , i am suffering from severe health anxiety. I always feel like I'm going to have a heart attack, and the pain areas are always on the left,like left chest, left hand , left shoulder , left back, left abdomen. I have gone to ER multiple times just to find out my vitals and heart is functioning properly. But i can't get out if it.
It seems like such an uphill battle at times but your content is the only thing i have found that makes such crystal clear sense. I know this pain will end. Life will be better. Thanks to you Dennis. 🙏🏻
Does anyone else try to conceal their panic attacks when they're having them? I'm so ashamed of causing my boyfriend and family so much worry from my frequent panic attacks that now even when I'm having one in front of them I try to hide it so as not to worry them! It's horrible!! But I feel like people run our of patience with me!
Realize there are so many people just like you and try not to worry how your attacks affect those around you because they have no idea what you’re going thru and if you worry about them, it will just add more anxiety. It’s more important to concentrate on healing yourself … this guy seems to be on point. Hope it helps you.
This lesson is a big one for me Dennis. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have already listened to it twice in a row. After spending much of the day ruminating and riding the anxiety waves. Doing things DIFFERENTLY/OPPOSITE of what I normally do. Or what I did all day.... slowly bringing the anxiety down. Thank you x We are not alone people.
PLEASE POST MORE ABOUT THE BODILY SENSATIONS. ITS NOT TALKED ABOUT MUCH, AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT. ALSSSOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOUVE HELPED A LOT WIYH MY HEALING JOURNEY. I KNEW THERE WAS A WAY WITHOUT MEDICATION. IM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO DONT BELIEVE IN MEDICATION. THERES ALWAYS A WAY AROUND.. YOUVED HELPED MILLIONS AMD I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT. SO THANK YOU 😊
Is it the case that our need to react to symptoms is more of a problem than the symptoms? Crazy when you realise that our over-sensitivity and imagination which jumps to worse case scenarios is what reinforces the very thing we are trying to rid ourselves of ( ie anxiety).
I have found that accepting however I am feeling is simple but not easy but very effective when I can do it. My problem is responding to the beginning of anxiety and trying to control it , get rid of it is really the problem. Accepting it at the time takes a lot of the power out of it.
I’m going through withdrawals coming off of an SSRI and the physical symptoms are triggered a health anxiety spiral 😕 Do you have any videos that talk about this?! I’m loving your content. It’s helping so much 🙏🏼
You have absolutely no idea how appreciative I am for your videos. They have helped me on the road to recovery. It's been difficult, but I am ready to heal.
Wonderful video! I started dealing with health anxiety 2 years ago when I was 50 when i was being misdiagnosed by my Dr. Now I have such a fear that when ever my vitals are taken, there always high. Constantly worry about cardiac issues Wish it would go away God Bless All!!
I have been told that I have a chemical imbalance and need to take meds my whole life! I started getting attacks at 9 yrs old! I will be 52 this month! I am definitely going to get off meds on my healing journey ! Thanks again, Dennis!❤️🙏🏼
That’s what one doc told me, some people have that chemical imbalance and their body needs help with meds, like others that have diabetes or take meds for their heart or high blood pressure. I took meds for many years but was still dealing with anxiety. I wanted to prove to myself that I can function without daily meds as I didn’t believe that I need meds every day. I finally managed to wean off the meds two years ago. I still feel anxious sometimes and when I have a bodily response that is too strong to manage on my own, then I do take a calming pill. And I do EFT which helps a lot. Just be patient with yourself and have lots of compassion.
There is no such a thing as a chemical imbalance. Anxiety is fear and worry based. Too much worry and what you tell your amygdala there is danger. The best thing to do with mind chatter, is to not argue with your thoughts. They're only thoughts. Observe the thoughts and let it go. This is a practice because most people have made it a habit to believe and argue with their thoughts. When you react fearfully to a thought, your amygdala attaches it as dangerous. Just like it does to people, places, things and thoughts. It's a cycle, until you stop reacting to a thought, that brings on a symptom or attack. It doesn't work immediately. You have to retrain your brain on how you react. You have to show your brain, that it's not dangerous. The amygdala controls the involuntary part of your nervous system, which is in charge of emotions. Anxiety and depression can be treated by not believing or arguing with thoughts. If you get triggered, then watch how you react. I use the words, ride the wave or Let it be. Avoid using words that tell the nervous system their is danger. Takes time to calm down the brain and heal the nervous system. Amygdala is a machine. It doesn't understand words. It understands memory and actions.
Be very careful. You've been taking meds for your whole life. Your body is dependant. Most likely you will have terrible withdrawal and won't be able to come off the drugs.
You are an inspiration. Your breakdown of anxiety and it's manifestations and guide to healing are (for me) the clearest and most effective expositions on the internet.
I have health anxiety since childhood and it elevates when I am having any stressful time. Your videos are like just on point. Its like you know exactly what I am going through 🎉 Blessings to you from India

My anxiety just seems to be getting worse. It’s so bad it’s hard to live a normal life. I was drinking to help it. But that just made it 10000 times worse. Horrible
Suddenly yes, chronic yes, anxiety can cause this as a protective response since from that perspective blurry vision means we become less frightened by what we may see.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 I was not seeing anything that I didn't want to see I was at home and doing stuff on my phone and already had been feeling anxiety when the vision went blurry
Dennis..... I am reading your book, watching your videos , listening to your pod casts and you are truely helping me so much and I thank you so much. Can you tell me though ..... how do I know if my 'symptoms' are anxiety based or if they are something I should be getting checked ? I could be at the doctors every day ..... what do you do ? ! Thankyou 🙏
Get it checked, all clear? Focus your attention on the emotional causes of the physical sensations, it’s a transition and it’s necessary. The only reason you go back to thinking catastrophically about your anxiety symptoms is because it makes you feel protected to worry and fret over them, once you trust this dissipates.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 Thankyou for taking the time to reply, truely appreciated. I have been crippled by this for over 25 years. Lost everything. Slowly, bit by bit your work is helping me and slowly starting to make some sence. Thankyou Dennis.
