✨ Today's Health Anxiety Podcast Episode:

If you have ever received normal or negative medical test results but still felt anxious, unsettled, or unable to relax, this episode is for you. Health anxiety often persists even after reassurance, and many people are left wondering why clear scans, blood work, or doctor visits fail to bring lasting peace of mind.

In this episode, Dennis Simsek explores why reassurance does not work for health anxiety at a nervous system level. You will learn how the inner protector keeps worry alive, why the body continues to scan for symptoms even after being told you are medically fine, and how identifying as a worrier can quietly reinforce anxiety over time. This conversation gently explains why health anxiety is not a logic problem, but a learned survival pattern rooted in perceived danger and uncertainty.

Dennis introduces the Middle Way approach to health anxiety recovery, showing how healing happens when we stop chasing certainty and stop fighting symptoms. Instead of reassurance seeking or avoidance, this episode focuses on rebuilding safety by changing your relationship with worry, sensations, and uncertainty. You will learn how allowing the body to experience discomfort without monitoring or control helps retrain the nervous system and reduces anxiety symptoms naturally.

This episode is for anyone struggling with ongoing health anxiety, fear of symptoms, reassurance seeking, or the constant "what if" thoughts that return after normal medical tests. If you are looking for a gentle, practical, nervous-system-based approach to health anxiety recovery that does not involve force, pressure, or constant fixing, this conversation will meet you where you are.

✨ Today's Health Anxiety Podcast Episode:

All or nothing thinking is one of the most invisible patterns keeping health anxiety and nervous system dysregulation alive.

In this episode of the health anxiety podcast show, we explore how turning healing into a pass or fail test quietly keeps the body in survival mode, even when you understand anxiety intellectually. When symptoms, emotions, and sensations are constantly evaluated, judged, or measured, the nervous system never receives the message that it is safe.

You will learn why this thinking pattern is not a flaw or a mistake, but a protective response that developed over time. We discuss how all or nothing thinking conditions the body to believe that safety only exists when you feel calm, symptom free, or "better," and why that expectation creates ongoing tension, monitoring, and self-doubt.

✨ Today's Health Anxiety Podcast Episode:

In this episode, Dennis breaks down one of the most important and overlooked shifts in health anxiety recovery: moving away from trying to fix every sensation and learning how to let the body breathe, loosen, and settle on its own.

Most people with health anxiety, chronic anxiety, or panic symptoms spend their entire day searching for techniques, chasing relief, and trying to force their nervous system into calm. But science shows that this constant internal pressure keeps the amygdala activated, keeps the body in survival mode, and reinforces the cycle of symptom fear, hypervigilance, and catastrophic thinking.

In this gentle, grounded episode, Dennis teaches why allowing your breathing to be what it is, loosening the body instead of bracing, and letting uncomfortable sensations move through without immediate intervention is one of the most profound forms of nervous-system rewiring.

You'll learn how health anxiety symptoms, racing thoughts, chest tightness, dizziness, derealization, and all the sensations that come with a dysregulated system begin to soften when you stop forcing calm and stop trying to control the moment. This episode guides you into a new relationship with your inner experience, one based on permission, not pressure; safety, not urgency.

If you're tired of searching for the right technique, tired of feeling trapped by body scanning, symptom checking, and the fear of every new sensation… this health anxiety podcast episode will help you understand why nothing has "worked" yet, and what finally will.

Description:

In this episode of The Health Anxiety Podcast, we dive deep into a hidden barrier to healing: the fear of normal. Many people with health anxiety unknowingly resist moments of ease, clarity, or stillness because they feel unsafe without constant symptoms, racing thoughts, or external triggers.

You'll learn:

• Why the reduction of symptoms can feel more threatening than the symptoms themselves.

• How health anxiety conditions the mind and body to stay in motion—whether through worry, bodily sensations, or compulsive behaviors.

• The importance of allowing yourself small, safe doses of quietness, in thoughts, in sensations, and in your surroundings, to retrain your nervous system toward peace.

True recovery from health anxiety doesn't come from frantic reacting to every sensation or thought. It begins with curiosity, acceptance, and gradually making peace with stillness.

If you've ever felt unsettled when symptoms fade or when your mind gets quiet, this episode will help you understand why, and how to finally lean into the calm you've been seeking.
