195: Why It Feels Like Your Anxiety Is Getting Worse (Even When You're Healing)


Listen Later

Does it ever feel like the more you work on healing, the worse your anxiety gets? Like you're finally taking action, doing the hard things, and showing up for yourself, yet your symptoms feel louder, your panic shows up more often, and it’s just... overwhelming?

In this episode, I’m walking you through 5 powerful reasons why this reaction is not a setback, it’s actually a sign of real progress and healing. I’ll help you understand why feeling more doesn’t mean failure, and how to gently reframe what’s happening in your mind and body as you create safety, awareness, and new patterns.

This conversation is for you if you’ve ever thought:

  • “Why do I feel worse even though I’m doing the work?”
  • “I thought I was getting better, but now I’m spiraling again.”
  • “What if I lose the progress I’ve made?”

Let’s untangle this together and remind you that your body isn’t breaking down... it’s releasing, rewiring, and healing.
