In this episode, Grace is joined again by somatic therapist and anxiety specialist Liana Mauro to explore the roots of health anxiety, how it shows up in the body, and what to do about it. They discuss how unresolved fear and trauma can drive physical symptoms, and offer grounded ways to reconnect with your body, break the fear cycle, and build a sense of safety. Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, symptom flare-ups, or overwhelming worry, this conversation offers validation, tools, and hope.

Topics Covered:

• What health anxiety really is and how it differs from hypochondria
• How fear reinforces chronic symptoms—and how to interrupt the cycle
• Why constant symptom scanning and Googling can make things worse
• Creating true safety in the body (what that means & how to start)
• The role of somatic tracking and nervous system regulation
• Using joy and evidence journaling to retrain your brain
• Why your body isn’t broken—and how it’s actually protecting you
