Most people start their anxiety recovery believing the goal is to get rid of the symptoms. Or at least get some kind of relief.

So when panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, or DPDR show up again, it feels like you’re back at square one. Your mind immediately starts spinning:

Why is this happening?

Am I better yet?

Is this even working?

But…

Anxiety recovery is actually about realizing that even when your body feels out of control, your response is still yours to choose. When you reclaim your ability to respond, your symptoms lose their authority. Your nervous system recalibrates through action, acceptance, and responsibility.

In this episode, I explain what recovery actually means and why you should stop chasing comfort.

You’ll learn:

• why symptom elimination is a byproduct of anxiety recovery
• how restoring agency builds hope and momentum
• what radical responsibility actually looks like

Key takeaways:

• Recovery is not a restoration of comfort (00:00)
• Why your symptoms going away is just a byproduct (01:44)
• Anxiety is more than fear, it’s feeling helpless (03:39)
• Why coping crutches keep you internally focused (06:33)
• Reclaiming the power that you have agency over your life (09:01)
• Responsibility is the best antidepressant (17:32)
• Transformation becomes a ripple that reshapes families and the future (20:43)

Does setting boundaries make your chest tighten? Even just thinking about saying “no”? 

Well, you’re not alone.

For a lot of anxious people, turning someone down feels selfish in the moment. So they go along with everything, and slowly sink into exhaustion, anger, and resentment.

Although always saying “yes” might feel kind or capable, this loop of taking on more than you can handle has nothing to do with either. It’s actually about avoiding emotional discomfort, and it shows how easy it can be to place other people’s reactions above your own capacity.

In this episode, I share what’s actually happening when boundaries feel hard, and how to set them without feeling guilty or spiraling afterward.

(This comes straight from my own experience of burning out, resenting people I cared about, and learning how to set healthy boundaries.)

Tune in to learn:

• 00.35 Why boundaries don’t make you selfish
• 02:48 Why you still avoid saying “no”
• 05:53 How to set boundaries without overexplaining
• 09:33 How boundaries strengthen self-trust and calm the nervous system

If you’ve been trying to heal your anxiety by fixing, analyzing, or controlling every sensation, it can start to feel like your nervous system is working against you.

But it isn’t.

What’s really happening is that your nervous system is stuck in protection mode. It responds to discomfort as if it’s danger. And the harder you push for certainty or calm, the more it tightens its grip.

In this episode, I walk through seven small shifts that gradually teach the nervous system a different story. Each shift sends a signal of safety through how you relate to sensations, uncertainty, and daily stress.

You’ll hear about:

• How a nervous system learns safety through experience
• Why allowing sensations changes the stress respons
• How trust and resilience rebuild the nervous system

Tune in!

For the last 15 years, I’ve been recovering from my own anxiety and helping over 1,000 people around the world heal theirs, including doctors and therapists.

Before I understood what actually works, I did what everyone tells you to do: therapy, books, talking about triggers, childhood, and thought patterns.

And I was still anxious.

What changed everything was treating anxiety like what it actually was for me: a nervous system stuck in protection mode, reacting to normal sensations like they’re threats.

In this episode, I share the seven lessons I learned about healing anxiety that I wish someone had explained to me sooner.

You’ll learn:

•  02:01 Why anxiety isn’t just a mental issue
•  08:43 Why recovery can feel worse at first
•  11:19 Why anxiety recovery can’t be rushed

… and several more things most people usually never hear. Tune in.

“Just relax.” People say it like it’s the easiest thing in the world. And it sounds easy. Just relax. Really, how hard can it be? 

But more often than not, you’ve tried everything to relax… and your body still won’t calm down. If you’re nodding right now, I have news for you: 

This is normal.

It means your nervous system is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do to keep you safe. After enough stress, it stays in protection mode. It scans and braces because it hasn’t gotten the message that the threat is over yet.

That’s why deep breathing, meditation, or any other method to rest doesn’t work. You can’t relax a body that’s convinced it’s in danger.

So in this video, I’ll help show you how to get your body relaxed, and how to begin working with it so that you can feel restored.

Tune in to learn:

• Why “just relax” often makes things harder
• How protection mode keeps the body alert
• What allows relaxation to happen naturally

If you’re trying to fix your nervous system, it probably feels like something went wrong inside your body. Like it changed, broke, or stopped working the way it used to.

The problem is, it was never broken.

A sensitized nervous system isn’t damaged. It’s a system that learned to protect you after too much stress. Panic, anxiety, and strange sensations are signs your body is stuck in protection mode and still waiting for proof that it’s safe.

In this episode, I explain why recovery comes from understanding what’s happening and changing how you respond to it. 

I talk about:

• 00:00 - why your nervous system stays on high alert 
• 01:51 - how calling yourself broken keeps the alarm turned on
• 05:10 - how understanding what’s happening conveys safety and reduces fear 
• 11:30 - why living life with sensations teaches the body it’s safe again
• 15:36 - what actually allows the nervous system to settle on its own

Tune in to understand why fixing isn’t what heals the nervous system.

If intrusive thoughts are still showing up, it can feel like recovery isn’t working. In reality, that belief often keeps the cycle alive. You start scanning your mind all day, checking whether the thoughts are gone yet, then using the fact that they’re still there as proof you’re doing something wrong.

Healing from intrusive thoughts doesn’t begin when the thoughts disappear. It begins when you stop treating them like warnings, problems or reflections of who you are.

In this episode, I explain how to stop confusing healing with failure. Instead of asking, “Why are these thoughts still here?” I’ll show you how to recognize real change and why those shifts, which you might not notice at first, actually matter.

You’ll learn:

• the five signs that show healing is happening
• how intrusive thoughts lose power before they disappear
• why response time matters more than thought presence

If you want a clearer way to tell you’re moving forward, this episode will show you what to look for. Tune in.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Shift from "what if" to "even if" (00:47)
• Rumination reinforces the intrusive loop (03:00)
• You are not your thoughts (06:01)
• Emotional reactions fade faster (08:19)
• Response matters more than thoughts (09:24)
• Your mind is powerful, not broken (10:36)

Anxiety symptoms made PA feel like his own body had turned against him. DPDR that made the world feel unreal. Panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, digestive issues, rapid weight loss, constant fear, and the inability to be alone for even an hour. It became a full-body collapse that lasted for months.

Before anxiety hit, PA was disciplined and used to pushing through discomfort. With a military background and years of training behind him, he responded the same way when anxiety symptoms appeared. 

He trained harder, added supplements, tried medications, cold exposure, you name it… But none of it worked, and the harder he fought, the worse the anxiety became.

In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, PA talks about:

• how to stop feeding fear without trying to force yourself to be calm
• what actually shifts when you stop fighting symptoms
• how to build confidence that doesn’t fall apart under pressure

Recovery is possible, and PA is living proof of that. Tune in.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• PA’s background and early anxiety cycles (01:17)
• Worst symptoms and constant DPDR (05:29)
• Impact on work and family life (08:43)
• Surface confidence vs. core confidence (10:23)
• What finally started real recovery (22:51)
• Message of hope for the lowest moments (39:38)

Healing from anxiety doesn’t move in a straight line. Often, anxiety symptoms spike even when you stop fighting them. That doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means your nervous system is finally releasing what it’s been holding back.

That phase can feel really unsettling. (Trust me – been there.) Stronger emotions and a sense of disorientation can show up right when real change is happening.

In this episode, I explain why discomfort can be a sign of progress and how to tell the difference between regression and recovery.

You’ll hear:

• why anxiety gets worse during real recovery
• what the signs of anxiety recovery actually look like
• how living again recalibrates the nervous system

Tune in to get a clear picture of why healing from anxiety still feels hard and what’s actually changing beneath the surface.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Anxiety feels worse when you stop fighting for a long time (00:46)
• Discomfort increases as you go back to living (03:50)
• You begin to feel more than just anxiety (06:28)
• Anxiety stops becoming the center of your life – and that feels uncomfortable (08:38)
• Your signals start becoming reliable again (09:51)
• Recap (12:23)
