Let's get into these laws of healing right now. Number one thing I need you to understand is that

hypochondria or health anxiety is a chapter,

an opportunity for inner growth, not an identity.

You know, for a long time when I suffered from health anxiety, I consciously, out of the feeling

of safety and familiarity, and unconsciously kept checking in with my identity.

And I found myself speaking as a health anxiety suffer, many times complaining and over worrying about things.

Hey, have you ever experienced X? Are you sure this is going to go away?

And I found myself in a deeper and deeper hole by the minute. So what's very, very important

to understand right now is that this health anxiety experience is just that an experience. It is a chapter. And many times

our systems want to keep hold of this identity and this way of feeling long term because

it's a survival mechanism. That inner child subconscious within you

wants to prevent change from occurring because he or she believes that this is the best way to

function through reality today to keep you safe and to keep you away from threat. So understand that health anxiety and

hypochondria is a chapter. It's not a life sentence. Second law of healing for health anxiety.
