    Video notes on the health anxiety symptoms video below:
    - Create separation from instinctually reacting to them, and create connection towards intuitively understanding them.
    - Take an inventory of which habits drive health anxiety symptoms further upon waking up in the morning and prior to going to sleep.
    - Find the subconscious/inner child motivation towards falling victim to these health anxiety symptoms.
    Questions for reflection:
    - 1) Why does the inner child demand perceiving the world in a fearful manner?
    - 2) What scares the inner child most about believing in inner peace and self love?
    - 3) What is the inner child looking to prevent you from doing by elevating these health anxiety symptoms?
    “Remember, you are one new interpretation away from putting your health anxiety behind you.”

    I actually had a highly treatable cancer, which spurred my health anxiety in remission. But I suffered more from the anxiety than I did the cancer. Sh*t is either going to happen or it's not - either way, life is too short to live with anxiety. So, when an intrusive thought says "you're going to die," just say back "you're right - I better not waste today in dread."

    The moment my severe health anxiety started to get better was when I started to ignore it, and stop giving the feedback loop in my mind more information/stimulation from all these crazy symptoms. It was extremely hard to do at first and I didn't believe it would work, but somehow I'm doing a little bit better every month after being completely non functional for a year. I had the worst symptoms too. They were very scary and real, but somehow I knew I had to turn the ship around and climb out of the hole I dug myself in. We can all heal from this, I believe everyone can if I can. 🙏 ❤

      @@inbarmarkovitch3658I actually know a reason for this. Anxiety can cause muscle tension especially in the chest. There’s a related thing called “armoring” from trauma- your body tenses up in preparation to react to more trauma. All that muscle tension builds until you get these single-second shooting pains over and over again, especially in the chest, back, shoulders, arms…

Let it simmer while you continue living your life as usual. We get scared of our thoughts and its OK. Anxiety will NOT harm you!! It's actually in place to protect you. Feel your emotions. But then carry on with your life. The only thing that cures anxiety and panic attacks is...TIME. Don't try to get rid of it, the more you resist it the more it persists.

    Right when I wake up I immediately check for that all too familiar feeling of discomfort that radiates throughout my body, but is especially noticeable in my gut/intestines. Then, I sit in bed for about half an hour and worry about how I will survive this particular day and what I will do if symptom x, y or z shows up and or I have a panic attack. Then, I try and take every and any action that will mitigate these symptoms from showing up.

    I’m sitting here crying because it hits home. I’ve been struggling for months. I had a couple of weeks where I was okay, at peace. Prior to that, I ran to doctors constantly. I had blood work done, they even gave me an EKG. Everything is fine. The only thing they found was low vitamin D levels. I keep reminding myself that I’m fine. But since Sunday I’ve had heart fluttering/palpitations. Even though I know I’m fine and keep telling myself I just had an EKG done a few months ago, I still freak out at the sensation. I’m having a hard time pin pointing what’s causing it. I’m also trying to have my inner dialog by telling myself “you had an EKG done. Your heart is fine. There is no way that from one minute to the next something could be wrong” or “if something would be wrong, you wouldn’t be able to go days with these heart flutters/palpitations and still function the way you are. If it was your heart; you’d know” and even though I know this, and I’m telling myself over and over; I can’t seem to get the fluttering/palpitations to stop because the “what if” arises and I begin asking myself “what if it is serious this time… what if it is different this time…” That’s the cycle I need to get out of.

      How are you doing?I have newly developed anxiety which causes my gastric symptoms on all levels…even clean eating doesn’t help. This is my main struggle now, but it used to be as for you heart palpitations. To which I have question for you…do you actually have heart palpitations or you can just hear your heart beating? I had the issue, where I assumed I have heart palpitations if I lay on back and focus on my heartbeat and feel it in neck, back of my head etc. What helped me was putting ice packs (wrapped in towel) under my head and pounding sort of was numbed until I start drifting off. Then just quickly turned to side and fell asleep. First it took only two hours of sleep but slowly got to at least 4 hours. I rarely hear heartbeat during day because I am distracted by various things, it is the laying down that gives ‘heart palpitations’

      For me it helped me realizing my inner child grew up in a home of complete chaos and I could never know where the next treat would be coming from. So you learn to constantly scan environments, people, sensations in order to be able to control the outcome so you could "keep your peace" and yourself safe but it ironically ends up as an affirmation to yourself that you are still in constant danger. Gotta get to the fear you felt as a child and just be with that fear, it need to be felt to be healed, just keep reparenting yourself and talk to that part of you.
      Rest is safe.
      Being at peace is safe.

Everyday I worry so much about my health and many other things, sometimes it even feels like I'm going crazy because it never stops. I've thought many times about giving up because the journey to heal always seemed to hard for me, but your words really encouraged me and I finally feel a little bit understood. So thank you so much. Please keep on doing what you do, you're helping many many people 🤍

    Loved loved loved the 3 questions. They may remain unanswered because I truly cannot think of a “why”. The reasons have been unusful and damaging for far too long but just asking yourself these 3 questions each day can change your mindset cause it truly allows you to see that indeed I’ve been stuck all this time and there is no logical reason for it! I cried over his last sentence “we are one interpretation away...”💕 with so much suffering I’ve been going through I’m truly going to hang my hat on that and hope I stumble upon it soon...❤️with huge thanks. I stumbled upon your site this morning and I believe for a reason.

    You’re the best. Your detailed explanations have made me finally understand where the roots of my fears come from. They come from my upbringing as a child. I also now realise that always rushing, being a control freak and a perfectionist comes from my anxiety! With your advice, I’m trying to more consciously slow down and let things go. Thank you. Listening to your advice is such a comfort for me.

It feels so real its terrifying, the symptoms are so hard to ignore, but im getting much better after a year of absolute hell. I pray for you that you can get better and one day this will be behind you. It is possible to get back to happiness and be symptom free! 🙏

    My inner child falls ill to get the loving attention, and until she gets it, she's not going to get better. The attention she used to have is medical and doesn't remember many people who said it will get better. Our bodies are designed to heal themselves, if we let it, love it and be kind.
    I am learning to talk to that part of me and reassure. It takes time to convince her though!

Yes I do get it every now and then mostly towards the evening jus Tilke right now I got a sever panic attack here in I was finding it difficult to breathe because of which I just purchased an oximeter to check my oxygen level and my pulse rate and it is Normal🤦‍♂️

    This is a whole new intriguing and powerful concept for me - that it is my inner child which is holding me back. I always thought I was supposed to coddle that inner child, and honestly, I hated that idea and thought it was stupid - so I rejected even listening about inner child work (people purposefully allowing their inner child to guide them, even sometimes bringing out toys and actually playing with them in attempts to "connect" to their inner child at the supposed age they were most injured and somehow therefore healing by giving themselves permission to be... It never resonated with me... But this! This was eye-opening!!! And I like that I'm not to view my "inner child" as the enemy, but rather with compassion and empathy... YET, not allow it to falsely protect me from imagined fears. It makes things so much more clear to me!

    My road to recovery was difficult. Lots of setbacks. I continue to heal each day. Words and thoughts impacted me through my journey. Dennis helped me develop the right mindset and perspective. My first step to recovery was acknowledging that I had health anxiety and not a something else. Everyone is in different stages on their personal recovery. I continue to heal and try to be the best version of me that I can be
