- Your 12 Week Path to True Health Anxiety Recovery Starts Today: theanxietyguy....
If your fixation over your anxiety symptoms is ruining your life, start applying the principles in this anxiety guy video today.
Anxiety Guy Quote Of The Day: "Every moment of deep fear holds within it the opportunity for deep inner change."
Understanding: It is the part of you that creates the anxiety symptoms that is also the part that checks in on them. Why? Because whatever emotional state has been the most consistent in a persons life is the one that this ‘lower self’ would have you default to, therefore it’s not the actual fear of the symptom of anxiety but rather the prolonging of health anxiety fear and a fear centered identity that is at play here.
Responding: You have two choices - To do something in that very moment of health anxiety or not to do something, both are led by the part of you that is separate from the lower self, not the frantic part of you but rather the deeper knowing part of you.
Do: Hands on heart and verbalize the safe truth behind this very moment.
Surrender: Let go to the physical sensations that you once frantically looked for answers to.
Coming through the moment: Slowly and compassionately allow your focus to turn to what’s safely taking place externally in that moment, while allowing the fragments of feared health anxiety to run through your body.
Begin seeing your higher self as the one in control, the one that is the master of the lower self and not the other way around.

Remember, you are more than anxiety. ❤️

Our weekly live meetups have begun, we hope to see you in the next one. 🙏❤️
Everytime I wake up in the morning the first thing in my mind is about what my body feels. This is so true. And everytime I stop thinking about my body, I feel okay.
1. Trust that there's a higher power
2. Respond- choose to do something or do nothing
3. While afraid, move your focus to the outside world
4. Begin to believe that your higher self reigns over the lower self
5. Patience is key to mastering
I needed this! TY! You actually know what I'm going through.
Sometimes I convince myself that it’s just my health anxiety and that I got this. Then I get an anxiety attack that can last for a few days and nocturnal panic attacks etc… and dig myself deeper into the hole Ive worked so hard to get out of. I accept my symptoms, I let them be and keep going with my life but it’s hard when you are trying to live a normal life and you are constantly feeling sick. Because anxiety causes so many scary symptoms, and once they come, they stay and visit for a while, making me feel nauseated, lightheaded, faint, heart palps, chest pain, and sometimes all im doing is watching a fun movie with my family and they sneak up on me. I’ll get a good day here and there but I’m mostly always tired, afraid, and feeling sick. I’m just tired. Thank you for your video, it was very insightful 😊
This is EXACTLY ME!!! I could have wrote this. And this is eat I've been trying to explain to people around me for a while now. I sure hope you can move past this it is a truly awful feeling.
@@ashleybowman2498 I’ve actually been feeling really good lately. I still have my bad days but lately they have been mostly good 😊
I hope anxiety gets better for you too.
In all the years I've been dealing with health anxiety, no other video has hit the nail on the head more than this one
Wow, I'm just so happy it spoke to you so deeply thank you.
This is 100% me. I tend to get a symptom of my anxiety or panic attack, then the ocd kicks in and I ruminate and it spirals and I’m stuck
Omg same.
For me the hardest part is being dizzy everday, my only rest is when sleeping
Same😢
Same!!! Honestly makes me feel less crazy knowing somebody else experiences this.
Someone once told me that I want to be anxious, that I have an interest in this image, that it protects me from something. The recovery is to meet this thing that I am afraid of. In the simplest form, I would define it as letting go, letting go completely.
What's funny is that you let go completely, you see that nothing has changed, that it's all just an imagination. A paper tiger
That last line is brilliant and so true :)
Health anxiety has plagued me for years. I’m in the middle of an episode now where I can feel something and catastrophize it…constantly focusing on “do I feel it, is it worse, is it gone, did it move?” Etc. This video makes so much sense. I’ve tried focusing on the fact that I’m not in the ultimate control and that God is. It IS very much a control issue at the root. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not alone…the battlefield of the mind is a tough place to fight.
Does it include palpitations?? Mindless worse ..sometimes I tend to catastrophize even the normal and simplest things and boom my heart shoots
If you haven't tried there is so much self help literature available on generalised anxiety disorder. Make sure you check it out, it helped me a lot
Thank you Dennis, this video described me exactly. I have experienced a recent heart health issue and the symptoms of palpitations was one of the symptoms I was to watch out for ...so guess who is aware of her heartbeat everything she moves. I have been absolutely terrified😢. I asked myself what was I terrified of ??death or actually dying not in a "state of grace"...a very strong indoctrination from a very rabid Roman Catholic background which I believed I had moved on from. I am endeavouring to stop trying to "know" what's True and develop my own spirituality more.
I am trying to see this as an opportunity to let go and Trust, instead of constantly trying to keep myself Safe.
I found this video very helpful and will indeed watch more.
You are telling the truth this put me in a depression so i think i wont worry anymore
For the last 5 weeks I've been dealing with on and off body twitches, tingling, numbness in my arms or legs, and, the weirdest symptom yet, my tongue sometimes feels like an alien thing in my mouth even though my tongue is normal. My anxiety symptoms have changed from heart PVC attacks and thinking I have heart disease, to bad dizziness, tinnitus and thinking I have a brain tumor, to gastrointestinal problems and thinking I have crohns disease, and now to twitching, numbness, tingling, jelly legs and arms. It just keeps changing and boy is it exhausting. I've been trying so hard to accept that I have health anxiety and I am safe. But when I think I'm making progress, I backtrack and get real scared and think how theres no way this is just anxiety causing these symptoms. It's so hard to get myself out of it. Its so true, you have to BELIEVE that you're safe and healthy and accept and trust in yourself. My symptoms last for weeks or months straight and its just awful...I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I bring up changing symptoms to my dr and they just tell me to chill, its just anxiety. They dont explain HOW its just anxiety and if it were "X" disease, here is what would happen. I started on sertraline 50mg 5 weeks ago and it seemed to help a ton in the beginning but I feel like it might be time to up my dose a bit because the fear and thoughts are creeping back in after being so happy for weeks now. I can't find a therapist because nobody is taking new clients.
You just described my life. Numbness and tigling is the worst. Followed by the heart pounding.
What helps me is this:
The reason why you feel these sensations is because your survival-mind and body is reacting to your thoughts. You have the thoughts that something is wrong so your body increases tension and nerves become sensitive in the anticipation that you are or are about to fight something off. It's all psychosomatic, and I notice I don't feel anything at all when I'm busy with something else or distracted.
I wish you all the best in your journey ❤️🩹
This is me to a T as well... Ugh, it sucks and reassuring, in a strange way, that others feel the same thing and we will be ok.
Yes also have this all exactly as you describe. Four years now, everyday. What kind of epidemic is this? The thing that gets me about it being anxiety is that all my aunts have anxiety including my mom. None of them have ever had these symptoms. Like are they just playing us? Is this guy for real, my doctor also calmly smiles and lis like, yeah that's anxiety. I mean I almost believe it, but why do people I know like elders in the family never have these anxiety symptoms... btw B12, B1, low does digestable Iron helped relieve some of my symptoms. If you heal, please let me know if you figure it out. Lori :)
@@muffsmerino I did 6 sessions of ketamine treatment. I'm almost back to normal
I'm a highly sensitive person. I feel every nuance in my entire body. Even if I'm as calm as a cucumber, this occurs. So the big moment for me was hearing you share how you spent your day focusing on all the little differences in your body and then looking for a solution or answer to it. I still notice everything, I just will, BUT I am going to choose to leave what I sense ALONE I think I'll just acknowledge "I see you lower self" then remove my focus- send it elsewhere.
❤, I could have wrote this myself!
Hey Dennis - I have managed to move away from many symtpoms and fears that dominiated me for too many years, and are all connected to anxiety - heart palpitations, dizziness, lump in throat, and others - and your videos& books have played a major role for me - so thank you. I am still not 100% out of the woods yet - but all these videos, mediations, and self awareness practices are crucial to keep going.
This is the kind of progress I love to hear, keep up with what's working my friend you're well on your way to inner peace.
I have all these as well trying my hardest to move away from them
Hi there I've been living with palpitations and fear had taken a grip over my mind and it's causing me physically sensations.all my hearts test came normal but yet at every slightest thought or trigger/news or image I get palpitations and tremors that last for hours sometimes 24hrs..did all beta blockers and magnesium glycinate and I'm tired and faltered ..
@@Rudy_yah I have been there for many years. Good news is that they will not kill you. Bad news is that they won't go away, but if you learn how to work your inner peace and be friend with your feelings, you will loose interest and eventuall you will not even notice them. Meditate, exercise, eat well, sleep well, and have fun, and I trust you will feel better soon.
Please any link for remedies
Wow. 63 years old and someone spoke directly to me Thank you!
Very welcome, young one.
This is me
I’m so ready to heal 😢
- the part that creates the symptoms is the part of me that checks in on them
- dont react, respond and keep going with my goal of doing better
- i always have the choice to feel good
- speak to lower self (reassure it)
- master lower self, the higher self is the one in control!! (anything that reminds me of anxiety is just trying to pull me back into familiarity)
- patience‼️‼️
Sometimes the feelings are so physical that when the emotion is felt and the symptom is experienced you automatically go to fight or flight. You feel very vulnerable,and all of the physical symptoms are super charged. Under stress these become more prevalent . Slowing it down is the route to go. Accept the symptom but do not become controlled by the symptom.
You are the only person, in 20+ years of health anxiety, that I truly 'hear' that you lived my struggles. You are an inspiration to finally get this faulty wiring fixed once and for all. Thank you.
I’ve had anxiety before but for the past month is hitting me with new symptoms: kind of like unbalance feeling, my eyes don’t focus well, blood rushing through legs, almost like a lightheaded feeling, shaking, headache, and this all happens almost every time I’m getting ready to eat! So odd, I sit down to eat and instantly the symptoms start, so I’m always afraid of lunch or dinner time now! I had EKG done, X-rays of my heart and lungs, blood work and everything was fine…they told me I’m having panic attacks.
This video says so much truth! I get scared that there’s something wrong but it must be just me, so I need to take control of it and trust that I have the power. Thank you so much for this video
Same here for a year now.
You just described me also.. ugh... Stay strong.
I get this way around meals too.. I will cook a whole meal and start to feel weird when it's time to sit down to eat!! Frustrating! I don't know if I have blood sugar issues or what! It's annoying to have to force myself to eat when I'm feeling that way.. so tired of this nonsense 😠😩
39 years and counting. Life ruined, relationships ruined, social life ruined, everything ruined. So tired. I'm exhausted Every. Single. Day.
😭 Praying for you and me and everybody that's dealing with this crap, that we will get over this 🙏🏻
Your tone of voice, the way it’s slow, calm, reassuring mixed in with the wisdom you have attained and are using it is incredible. The messages you send are more than helpful and i thank you for sharing it with us. Thank you for actually helping.
Hear flutters when I’m battling anxiety!! I hate them!! Skipped heartbeats would send me into a spinning cycle of continuous checking my pulse, blood pressure, etc!! The more I fear the fluttering the more sensitive I am to any feeling in my chest!! The more I take my blood pressure- the higher my pulse would go and I would get a higher blood pressure reading!! So that’s my story in a few sentences ! I
Same!
I deal with the same, now my symptoms have changed to something else and it is exhausting dealing with this.
Do you feel shortness of breath while your heart flutters?
I experience ectopics almost everyday and it's very frustating.
“Impatience is a tool your lower self uses to bring you back into an anxiety identity” Wow. 👏🏼 That is incredible for so many reasons. The main reason for me is because the main drive of my anxiety is “how long will this last”? “Will I be stuck like this until I die” ? “How many days/weeks/months/years do I have to endure this” and THAT is what is keeping my anxiety alive. If I just understand that my mind is trying to manipulate me with those messages, it makes it’s so much easier to identify when it’s happening and I can just go, “Maybe, maybe not, who knows 😊” and let myself feel the those uncomfortable feelings without panicking. Just like “yup it is what it is” and let myself flow through it. Eventually my nervous system and subconscious should understand NOTHING is going to happen to me and even though it feels like I’m supposed to “fix” something. You earned a sub from me man, we’re going to make it.
I’ve suffered for 47 years with anxiety but after a series of events that triggered it recently I’m now exhausted. I’ve tried reaching out but it seems no one understands and I’m not sure anyone really wants to know. I’ve been prescribed every SSRI, all without success and most actually making me ill. I will be trying to do what you say but I wish I had a friend that I could turn to. Everyone is busy with their own lives these days it seems.
Stay strong Jenny... Understand what it is and refocus if you can.
Hopeless anxiety addict the lass twelve years yet in the last year im starting to recover! Learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and not act on them is the hardest part but also the most important in my experience
Yes big challenge, I'm glad you're turning the corner now.
Dennis - I can't even tell you how much this resonated with me today. I hung on your every word. The word that really hit me hard was "control." Yes. Yes. Yes. That is me. So much anxiety in me comes from wanting to control what others in my family are doing that I think is potentially harmful or just a bad idea...and my mind heads straight into major anxiety 24/7 because I can't control anything. This is resulting in major health symptoms that scare me even more. Except you said I can control myself. You've taught me that starting today, I can control my lower self. I can. Between my faith in God (who led me to you) and your teachings, I am going to start living a better life today. I know it takes time, but it starts today. Dennis, thank you SO much! Please keep giving us your wisdom.
Your insights are inspiring, thank you for sharing as well, let’s do this.
Don't focus on my physical symptoms. Let go of control. Relate to lower self. I hear the warning. I'll protect us!! Focus on the outside world. Awesome 👌
You had my full attention!
Thank you!!
I believe I am still hanging on to a fear identity from childhood. How is that serving me today?
Sitting here in tears realizing I’ve had a fear-centered identity since I was little. My brain wants to stay there because that’s what familiar. Stopping and talking to our lower selves with love and compassion makes so much sense.
Im so glad I found your channel. You are changing my life. You are such a blessing.❤
Guilty 🤦🏾♂️ definitely is me . Like I was in a conversation with my brother and friend everything was going well , out of nowhere I start thinking about my breathing and start feeling weak in my legs . I hate it 🤦🏾♂️ chest start hurting arms started tensing up . Then when I got away from the conversation and left in the car . I was back to myself 🥹
Yes, I also encounter this situation. How can we continue the conversation even we feel anxious.
@@user-pz3vd8gv1i 😫😫😫 it’s getting better been on lexapro for 10 days it’s definitely helping !! Finally something that’s helping 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Fear, it's so funny. Fear is my fuel now. When something Scary happens. I get excited for the change. It's like a psychic shift.
This! I completely understand thanks for sharing.
I’m learning this for my fixation on my heartbeat sensation. Instead of getting up and going oh my god this is horrible I want this feeling to go away, now ill wake up and literally think, “I’m so excited to feel uncomfortable today” like is an opportunity to run towards the fear. This is the way to defeating anxiety
@@vinny5727 this literally happened to me again 2 days ago. Was trying to get over fear of heights. Wasn't paying attention and almost fell down stairs backwards. Then realized if I can stop myself from falling into something I didn't see. I should be fine if I'm paying attention. Earlier the next day I saw a shirt saying "get over your fear of heights" randomly on some guy walking Infront of me.. like God was trying to help me get over my fear and giving me signs. 💘💘💕
I find it hard to think it's going. to go x
this is definitely a more than anxiety moment!
Glad to hear it, let's keep it up!
It doesn't matter what I do and forced me to do certain things during a day with anxiety I never can not relax and breathing normal and get rid of this anxiety and because I am uSe to do Many things before and now I can't do anything of that anymore and I can't be around people any more not even my kids and that gives me more anxiety thinking of that
I had my first panic attack in 2018,and after that my journey with anxiety and panic started, I tried so many things from therapists to life coaches then found myself under medication after I started seeing a psychiatrist as it was my last resort, I took medication for 4 years , I stopped progressively this April as my doctor suggested because I seemed fine and healed, was happy and relieved, suddenly my anxiety made a comeback 2 days ago when I started to feel the symptoms again, making me feel uncomfortable all day long , I don’t want to go back to medication, I don’t want to go back to point zero, therefore, I resorted to videos on TH-cam as a way to calm down my anxiety attack when I came across this video that I totally relate to, it even helped me calm down and felt much better afterwards, no one and nothing has explained my symptoms this clearly and simply, thank you so much , I will go through the other videos may be this is the beginning of my healing process. I send love and compassion to all those who suffer from health anxiety.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The lower part, or what you call the inner child, keeps you obsessively trapped in anxious thoughts through rumination or physical symptoms to prevent you from escaping the self-created prison. A prison of which the inner child believes to be the only safe place. This reminds me of Dr. Sarno, who says that the subconscious deploys physical pain to avoid "forbidden" emotions, as these emotions once caused insecurity during childhood.
We step out of this prison with confidence, addressing our inner child, our lower self, from the heart, assuring that we are safe. Instead of repeatedly checking if it's already safe and if the symptoms are gone, we physically move outward, towards life. Our senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste - guide us to a world of creativity and unconditional love. We embark on the journey and continue to speak to that inner child from our heart.
Thanks 😊
“Impatience is a tool that your lower self uses to pull you back”
Ahh! So true it hurts to hear. I become so impatient with myself on so many levels. Deep breathing, yoga, meditation. I tell myself I want results now, I can’t wait. I must find some more ways to practice patience along this journey.
Me too, I'm impatience I want to go back to my normal self . Patience is virtues so from now on, I pray to God that he will give me more patience ,help and guide me to this journey.
Anxiety isn't just mental, it's also caused by your physical body and deficiencies. When I take vitamins, I don't get anxiety at all. I don't get panic attacks or sudden. Anxious thoughts.
What do you take?
I suffer from Naseau every morning. I'm so afraid to start my day at my new job. I'm afraid to fail or disappoint someone or myself. I don't sleep and it's hard to take naps. I agree with everything you are speaking to me also. Hands on my heart!
I've dealt with health anxiety for 20 years. I was living and thriving with it until the pandemic. What's could be worse for a person with health anxiety than a global pandemic with a virus that's super contagious, deadly, and disabling? So the past 2 years have been a struggle and I do have a therapist and I work at it. However, this video hit home for me. It makes me feel so hopeful so thank you for that. It's a like and a subscribe for me today!
This is exactly what happened to me😢 I’ve always dealt with anxiety but the pandemic turned it into health anxiety and then agoraphobia😔
I’m so over it all! I just wanna live life to the fullest without all the fear…
You don’t thrive while having anxiety, that’s an anxiety lie
@@Sale-Big-Or-Go-Home actually I was. I was traveling. I had 12 books published by 2 separate publishers and I was going in and out of the city to spend time with writer friends. I was living and coping with it. The diseases I feared weren’t contagious. Covid changed everything.
@@ChristinaLorenzen Just because you were doing productive stuff doesn’t mean you where thriving in anxiety, if you are living in fear everyday that’s pretty much the opposite of thriving
This is exactly what happened to me. The pandemic screwed me up and I'm fighting to get over this. 😢 it's hell on earth but I will stay in prayer and not give up.
When your anxiety symptoms have completely taken over your mind and body and it’s so unbearable that you can’t function anymore, you can’t just ignore it. I spend time doing meditation and deep breathing through my nose to help my body learn to relax and be calm. I just can’t see any other way to do it. I still haven’t overcome my anxiety disorder yet where I can manage it well enough to recover. I hope that before I leave this earth due to old age, that I gain personal control over this condition, that successful moment. That trust that I can do this.
Understanding that the part of you that creates the symptoms is also the part that wants you to check in on them and focus on them in order to keep you alert and in fear was mind opening for me.
A more than anxiety moment ;)
Beautiful said ty i wrote it down 😘
Everything little pain or discomfort. Just ignore them!!
The thing that we’re looking for is the thing that’s doing the looking!
I’ve watched this video dozens of times. When I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety this really helps me.
Forgiveness and patience are the hardest for me. I always blamed the outer world for it because no matter how hard I tried, results didn't show up and everybody around me were always dissatisfied in me and still are but the truth is did i forgive myself? Did I really let go? It's hard to always do that when there is that nagging question "For how long" anxiety has every way of convincing you so that you give in to the illusion that things are happening to you and not for you! It's easy to speak objectively but when the moment strikes...the bodily sensations and all of it is really automatic. But I do trust my higher self and I know that this is only my inner child and I don't have to give in to the fear that lurks around me 24/7. This is an ongoing journey and a beautiful process and I have to believe in this no matter how suffocating it sounds to the voice in the head looking for quick fixes.
Understanding that it is a part of me that creates an anxiety symptom and it is also a part of me that checks in on them is the biggest epiphany to me. It's so powerful. Thanks for sharing Dennis.
Very welcome, what a cycle that maintains the irrational and the hypersensitivity that the lower self wants for us. You're very welcome, and thank you for pointing this out.
This is really my story, so true. Anxiety is doing me bad. Thank you❤🙏
You are very welcome
I think I’m in denial because I feel like anxiety can’t be making me feel this bad over 13 years it have to be something else wrong. So I keep trying to figure out what’s wrong.
Thank you Dennis-you are really helping me with your suggestions and understanding of what it is like to suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. I seem to go through this every 10 years without symptoms in between and no medication, so I do truly know that it can be overcome with your inner dialogue 🙏🏻❤️🤗
The idea of the lower self dragging me back to a state of anxiety...
Addressing the fear and reparenting the inner child along with addressing the physical symptoms has been an epiphany for me!
Thank you for sharing, a major turning point in health anxiety and general anxiety recovery yes.
I glad i did research before cause i found out i had hyperthyroid.
Make sure you advocate for your self
Quick Summary
1. Do nothing or something.
Something as in Giving a message of compassion to your inner child.
2. Focusing towards what is happening in the outside world in the present moment.
3. Trusting in your higher self and being patient and forgiving.
"D-LOVE" - This is totally me from the start. "TRUST" is where I must start and stop myself. I love it! Master my Lower Self.
Yes sir! Always great to hear the D-LOVE haha love and blessings.
Thank you so much. Suffering from globus, chest tightness, depersonalization and dizziness. Pushing myself everyday. Using your tips ❤️
Keep up the progress.
I’m dealing with the same thing, it’s terrible. I’m gonna try my best to change my stinky thinking
Same here and tomorrow is my 1st day in job. I ll try my best. Hope it goes away soon. It's unbearable.
Dizziness is d worst😢
Yes I'm dealing. With fear of swallowing..since u choked 10 weeks ago it's been hard to eat normal again and I'm losing too much weight
You are hitting right on my thinking and fear . I am 81 and want to let go so I can have peace 12:16
I am at the point in this journey of being FULLY aware of the fear of losing control.
Nice to hear.
This is just what I needed to hear , I didn’t realise I was trapped in an anxiety state of being …
When I listen to this this feeling of anxiety in my stomach is faded away and I have to say thank you
Asoon as I consciously let go and I stop obsessing; the tension calms and I am better. Wow 😮 it’s really all in the mind. Mr Dennis this video is really eye opening lesson. Thanks 🙏
There is so much to this HA and the fact that our lower self has been given so much control. I have stopped fighting and started allowing. I’m a prayerful person and I see how releasing our control to God is way more sensible than us fighting in a frenzy. My takeaway: Patience, engage with the external, release tension. The process takes practice and time.
Great feedback thank you for your words.
The same emotions that create the feelings, check in on the feelings Wow!!!
Glad it spoke to you. ❤️
BEST channel so far with EXACT symptoms description, physical feelings, etc. And REALISTIC solutions, instead of telling everyone the same thing to meditate, it never worked for me and concentration on relaxation made the symptoms worse.
Thank you, Dennis ❤
Very welcome keep up the progress.
No faith that is why....???🤔🤔🤔
I am not identifying with this but still believe it is true for me. I gave up caring how I feel or focusing on it. I am hyper focused on my art though and wonder if I just shifted it to this. And it could still be an unhealthy obsession. I would rather sit in my studio and do my art than almost anything else. I don't want to sit still anywhere. But when I am forced to it's really great so I don't see why my brain would be afraid to chill out and take a holiday. Unless my mind got so good at achieving little goals in my art that I am obsessed with it and I just don't want to take a break. Having zero years of any success until 40, maybe it's my time to work hard and... I have no self control skills when it comes to learning, and then I get way to excited when I achieve anything at all. Like I'm the only one that gets excited for me so might as well go hard on excitement. Which seems to like send a rush of adrenaline all the time, causing maybe some sort of exaggeration or imbalance. Or, something in my relationship is causing a mild chronic ongoing tension...
This is exactly me. My anxiety causes digestive problems. I feel so out if control.
Allow this channel to be your guide to healing, much love.
Hi, This is me !!! I have had an health anxiety for over 2 years 😢
God led me to you, Dennis 🙏🏼 I feel like you’re always talking to me. And I am loving the Inner Circle program.
Love it, keep up the commitment to the program it will get you over this as quickly as possible.
I felt uncomfortable in the chest, racing heart beat, physical numbness, and sweating. Looking at this video title itself is so relieving. Stop looking for anxiety symptoms, but ignore.
I could probably say this about every one of your videos, but my intuition is telling me that.........This Is Your Best Video!!!! Thank you Dennis. My eyes (and heart) are starting to open and understand.
Blessings, thank you so much.
1 minute in and I am already ' This is me 100% " ! ....You hv hit the nail on the head here with all that you 've said. I associate every uncomfortable sensation with anxiety , a potential panic attack. Even when I am not feeling anxious , the minute my mind is free , I automatically start checking for symptoms of anxiety ! I have never considered it to be a ' fixation '. and it makes total sense . Thank you :)
Wow I’m glad it spoke deeply to you, keep up the progress.
I Thank the Universe for You,
I live with this Every day mostly due to past experiences that influence my
THINKING, but now it has leaked on to Loved ones too.
I'm so full of Fear ...
I Need Relief...Please Help ❤
My programs, and this channel, will guide you to the truth which is inner freedom.
Omg...the rabbit hole!!!!!! Such self abuse!!!! This video is gold ❤
You have just described me to a T. I hope I can find my way out of this cycle. Every time I think I’ve gotten control of my anxiety, I’ll have a weird sensation out of nowhere like dizziness & my body goes into fight or flight mode. It is exhausting.
i’ve watched this video several times, and this time, something really clicked. realizing that it’s not really about my health, it’s about being in control, and learning to accept that i do not always need to be control is a real game changer. crying tears of relief, feeling my body finally starting to let go of the hell i’ve put myself through for the past two years. thank you for this
edit: i urge all of you experiencing this to speak with a therapist ❤️🩹 i was recently diagnosed with OCD, and have been learning so much about how my brain works and why this “health anxiety” wasn’t going away. CBT therapy and working through anxious thoughts doesn’t work the same when you have OCD, and learning how to navigate this has been life changing
You are so very welcome and thank you for sharing
That same thing resonated with me. It’s like having that clear, applicable definition helps take away the power.
100% I need to be in control and I am always checking what my symptoms are - its a vicious circle
Sorry for the dumb question, but what is CBT therapy ? 🤷🏼♂️
@@_cr8ive_ Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Nope! Not a dumb question.
Hi Dennis!
This is a
the light bulb moment I had been waiting for. Even though I am attending schema therapy for about a year now with an excellent clinical psychologist, this video….yes this video has truly resonated with me the most. I get this. I am going to listen to this video every day and practice talking compassionately with my little inner child. I am truly grateful Dennis for your teachings and fantastic way of clarifying what is actually the root of all anxiety. With much respect. Thank you. ❤
Yes! Thank you for confirming this, it's such a vital point in not only the anxiety healing process but finding who we truly are once again. Much love.
For me, this entire video is a blessing - but I have two main takeaways, that I have realised through the years and you are confirming. One, that the lower self creates symptoms in order to keep us in a state of fear and alarm, and two, that anxiety is all about impatience. In the beginning of this healing journey, you shift from being constantly aware and accepting of the symptoms (fear), to being aware and not accepting of them (frustration) because you think they should go away since your anxiety is starting to dissipate. But it's not like that. The key is letting your mind realise that anxiety needs time to heal, so that the body can follow along. The tricky part of healing for me is how closely the mind and body are intertwined, so that you have to balance them in perfect harmony in order to heal.
I actually stopped the video at 10:25. This is exactly what I've been dealing with! Dennis, this video seems like it is specifically designed for me!! ❤
Think of it as the snowball effect. The more attention you give it the bigger it gets. The key is to allow your body to feel the symptoms simply because we can’t control our intrusive thoughts but we can control what emotion or response we give to them. Consistency is key. Don’t give up. Wake up early, go for walks, diet, and love yourself. The cycle can be broken I promise but you must be ready to evolve in life. Change is amazing because it allows us to experience new life and create new memories.
I know I need to stop checking in with symptoms. Knowing this perpetuates the cycle helps me want to stop this with compassion towards my lower self.
God bless you Dennis. I can proudly say now that I am becoming more than anxiety
Isn't this an amazing inspiration for others, thank you as well.
This is also my story. I wake up every morning with great fear, some days more than others, but eve-ry sin-gle d-a-y! I don't even have time to think about how I feel in my body, because the awful feeling of anxiety it is automatically there, no thoughts needed! But then, of course, the crazy monkey starts to try to manage the situations in its hundreds of ways: meditate, breath, exercise, try to be present...
Much love to you
Same here 🙏🏼
Dennis, i have had a chronic condition now for almost 3 months now and im always in anxiety on going to sleep and waking up to fear. I believe i have so much anxiety i physically make myself sick and mornings are the worst. I need help, don't know where to begin😢. I will try to believe in my higher self. Please pray for me.
Consume the knowledge form this channel, it is a great place to start :)
Thank you Dennis!
My pleasure!
Thank you. Great video Wow this is so true of me. I focus on my symptoms and want to fix myself since I have health issues.
Glad it spoke to you my friend, much love.
What is lower self??
Me to you "how did he know?" 😭😭 thank you this is going to help change my life. You helped me through a major panic state in my life many years ago and I still love by some things I learned from you. God must have spent a little more time on you 🙏
Aww that is the sweetest thing, you are so welcome, keep up the progress.

This is the first time this has been brought to my attention.
Listening to your true self. To this calm and wise inner voice inside of your mind is the key to your healing. It is so true…know it from my own healing journey.
Nice to hear my friend, much love.
this is my story....I have just had one of the worst anxiety attacks i have ever had due to some news with the result being 'maybe it is or maybe it isn't ' but i will not know the result until i revisit the doctor in a few days...This video is definately making sense to me
Glad it’s speaking to you.
Makes so much sense, I can be out in a busy shop feeling fine and I will think to myself I’m not having any symptoms today and then slowly that thought will manifest into me having symptoms. Social anxiety sufferer for last 4 years. Completely believe the brain can be rewired out of this although I’ve not manage to do this yet. It’s a vicious cycle.
I am listening carefully to this message every single day - until my thick skull allows it to sink deeply inside, and I can begin to make changes. I've had health anxiety symptoms for 40 years. It's time. Thanks to you, Dennis, it's time. Every single day.
Love the commitment.
Makes so much sense..ty you named all the symptoms that I have..but now I feel better and I know what to do..thank you so much.
So very welcome friend
Every single word that you said in this video is exactly what I was thinking. It’s not real. Your body makes it up and makes you think and feel that it is. Control is definitely key. You need to master your mind. I’m still in the process of that
Love your input thank you.
🙏❤
I have not had any issues for over 5 years with anxiety(before that, it was just part of the story, ya know) then "seemingly" out of nowhere I got sick with a harsh respitory flu and couldn't breath at night. I didn't sleep for 2 nights and BAM huge panick attack. That was a week ago... I was looking for concord conscious beloveds who still experience this...I found you. I'm grateful
I don't comment a lot but it very much does feel like you're talking to me, over the last few years whenever I start to fixate on fear and get overwhelmed I come back to this channel and you say exactly what I need to hear- and teach me exactly what I need to do to grow from where I am currently stuck and I will forever be thankful
Thanks for sharing!
It's the physical symptoms and feelings that are frightening me there not stopping and making think something serious is wrong with , its just a curse .
My goodness! This is secretly my story .
This video is a godsend. Its nice to know other people are going through this too. I'm ready for this healing journey. Love to all who's watching this too. ❤❤
When you said out hand on heart and tell to lower self that I’ll take care of you… I felt that real deep 😞
My biggest takeaway is "letting my lower self drag me back down to anxiety", which is exactly what I have been doing these last few days. I struggle with health anxiety and OCD and I have let my illness of laryngitis and a sinus infection allow me to spiral. I have made this illness so much worse than it actually is and have been spiraling out of control with anxiety. I know it will take time, but I will overcome it with your great coaching.
Thank you or bravely sharing your own experience, forward together.
I’ve been battling health anxiety for years . I had been doing really well for last few years but it’s BACK with a vengeance!
My anxiety is always centred with dementia. Constantly questioning everything, why did I forget that , why did that word not come, etc etc .
Watching your videos are always so helpful ❤
I spoke to the lower self and it replied! It said that I never listened to it, it was sad because it just wanted to keep me safe. I said I would always listen, I just wouldn’t always do what it wanted.
I can finaly start to take control now and not live in fear
Love it
Had anxiety as a child, took medication and they helped but I got tired of that robotic feeling. Now as and adult I have stresses or course, as all of us do. But I had a panic attack out of nowhere that has since lead to multiple panic attacks happening. This has easily been the most insightful video I’ve seen so far. I’m hoping to be able to break this cycle of constantly checking to see if my symptoms (that aren’t really there) are still present. Constantly checking pulse and the sensation of heart palpitations which instantly spark that fight or flight mode. Thank you for this video, and for being a guiding light through what seems like a never ending darkness❤
