Bye Bye Panic

Break the Obsession With Anxiety and Its Symptoms


Listen Later

There’s a point when paying attention turns into something else. Not awareness exactly — more like scanning. For the next symptom. The next spike. The next reason to worry.

But it doesn’t start that way.

At first, it’s just noticing: a weird flutter in the chest, a dizzy spell, a spaced-out, floaty feeling. But when it keeps happening — when doctors say everything looks fine and it still feels wrong — the mind shifts into overdrive.

Every sensation becomes a puzzle to solve. Every thought needs an explanation. The focus tightens. The symptoms grow louder. And even the moments of calm don’t feel safe — they’re more like pauses before the next wave hits.

This episode looks at why that cycle feels so hard to break, and why constantly analyzing symptoms can backfire in ways that aren’t always obvious. It also offers a completely different approach — one that actually works.

So tune in to learn how to stop tracking every heartbeat or thought, once and for all.
