Summary

Well well well... I definitely did not plan to release this podcast on the week that we find out the world is rapidly approaching a global pandemic, but here we are. In this episode, I speak to guest, Dr. Gordon Asmundson, a psychologist, professor, and author, all about health anxiety. Just as a heads up, we do not talk specifically about COVID-19 or any other Corona viruses in this episode. Rather, this is a subject that many have requested. I will likely speak more about COVID-19 and more about health anxiety in general in a future episode. 

Check out Dr. Asmundson's book, It's Not All in Your Head on Amazon!

And don't forget that you have just days left to hop on the massive Kick Anxiety's Ass course discount before enrollments close entirely.

consuming difficult content but also respect and recognize your limitations.

0:43.0

So please use your best judgment.

0:45.0

I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely,

0:49.0

but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens.

0:52.0

If you need to skip, that's okay, but you know, feel

0:54.4

free to give it a shot first. I also need to say that while I am a psychologist, I'm not

0:58.8

your psychologist and I'm not your therapist. This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a

1:04.8

substitute for professional help. So with those said let's go ahead and get into the show. I'm going to be free. All right.
