Anxiously Capable | Real Talk on Anxiety, OCD and Mental Health

How to Stop Health Anxiety Spirals (And Trust Your Body Again)


Listen Later

When health anxiety takes over, it feels impossible to trust your body — or your thoughts.
In this episode, we’re talking about why health anxiety spirals happen, how it tricks you into worst-case thinking, and gentle ways to start breaking the cycle. Whether you’re stuck in Googling symptoms, checking your body, or feeling constant worry about your health — you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

You’ll learn:
 ✔️ Why health anxiety feels so convincing
 ✔️ How reassurance-seeking keeps you stuck
 ✔️ The sneaky ways health anxiety shows up (like catastrophising and body hyperawareness)
 ✔️ Simple therapist-backed strategies to slow the spiral
 ✔️ How to start trusting yourself and your body again

You deserve peace — and it starts with understanding what your anxiety is trying to protect you from.
