| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Health Anxiety Podcast Show, my friends. In today's episode, I want to highlight two |
| 0:08.6 | approaches to healing that work beautifully together. We're talking about active practices and |
| 0:16.7 | inactive practices. These methods help you retrain your mind and body to respond differently to |
| 0:25.0 | fear and worry. Each of these serve a very unique and vital purpose in your health-anxiety |
| 0:33.1 | recovery journey. So let's dive in. Welcome to the Health Anxiety Podcast show being brought to you |
| 0:42.1 | by The Anxiety Guide.com. I'm Dennis Simsec, your host, and together we are going to navigate |
| 0:50.2 | the health anxiety healing process, replacing fear with knowledge and transforming uncertainty into |
| 0:58.7 | strength. Let's embark on a path towards a healthier mindset and a healthier life. Let's go. |

| 1:56.0 | I'm talking about separating active practices from inactive practices when it came to my |
| 2:04.4 | dysregulated nervous system, my health anxiety, my chronic fatigue, these sorts of things. |
| 2:11.6 | Because what tends to happen is we group these two components, and then we find that the system doesn't |
| 2:21.4 | really respond well to one, and in fact needs the other more so. So I want to dive deep into |
| 2:28.3 | the separation between the active and inactive practices today so that you can really hone in on which one you need more of. |
| 2:38.4 | Let's start with active practices like visualization, mental imagery practices. |
