Every Podcast Conversation at Your Fingertips

In this powerful episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis shares a deeply relatable and practical path forward for anyone struggling with health anxiety and overwhelming anxiety symptoms. If you’ve been stuck in the loop of symptom monitoring, fear, and constant worry about your body, this episode is your invitation to heal through The Middle Way, a gentler, more sustainable approach to recovery.

Discover how to view your anxiety symptoms not as emergencies, but as residue from years of stress and past survival patterns. Learn how to stay emotionally neutral when those symptoms arise, using awareness and allowance instead of panic or suppression. And most importantly, free yourself from the trap of using symptoms as your scoreboard, because real progress isn’t measured by their absence, but by your ability to live fully with or without them.

This episode is especially supportive for those dealing with health anxiety, where every sensation can feel like a crisis. Through honest storytelling and practical tools, Dennis helps you break the cycle of fear, reconnect with your nervous system, and find peace without needing to be symptom-free.

Whether you’re new to the healing journey or looking for that next step of emotional freedom, this episode will remind you: You are not your symptoms, and there is another way.

Tune in now, and begin healing from anxiety one grounded moment at a time.
