I used to think something was seriously wrong with me. My heart would race out of nowhere, my chest would tighten, sometimes I’d feel like I might pass out in the middle of the grocery store…

So I did all the “right” things — doctor visits, tests, breathing exercises, even medication. They’d help a little… until they didn’t.

The symptoms would come back just as intense, and I’d be right back in the loop. It felt like I was cursed with a body I couldn’t trust.

But here’s what no one told me: it wasn’t the symptoms that were the problem — it was how I was responding to them.

In this episode, I’m talking about the cycle that keeps anxiety symptoms alive — even when you think you’re doing everything right. I’ll show you what it really means to be “stuck in survival mode,” and why the key to healing is learning how to face sensations without fear.

Let’s dive in!
