My friends, if you haven't already subscribed to the Anxiety Guy YouTube channel,

please do and hit the bell for all the notifications for all my videos.

And there's many people out there that are falling into the trap

of being highly sensitized to their bodily sensations

and misinterpreting them as physical illnesses,

therefore living a life of survival and not a life of creativity.

So today is about health anxiety, and I want to start with a little bit of understanding,

first of all, my friends, before we get into these five rules that you must live by to heal health anxiety.

The understanding is that when something occurs, a situation, heck, a trauma, We need to understand where that trauma goes, where that information goes.

Well, the truth is that the information behind that traumatic experience doesn't go to the mind,

it goes to the body. And because that traumatic

experience goes to the body, anytime the body senses something in the external

environment that may bring on a similar trauma, it warns you through your sensations

and symptoms. And if you through your sensations and symptoms.

And if you continue to act in a fight or flight manner, then what's going to happen is you're

continuing to grow that idea, you're continuing to grow the belief that yes, this situation

or an imagined future one is a threat.
