@@TheAnxietyGuy1 I’m willing to try out of options here are u familiar with ocd of internal sensations such as mouth tongue saliva swallowing and muscle spasms in mouth of tinnitus any help with those things I’m willing to try it
An important message for me from this video today is the need to disconnected my symptoms from physical danger, in particular the fatigue symptom. To acknowledge that they come from a hypersensitive nervous system rather than anxiety is a revelation. Thank you yet again.
I'm dealing with fatigue rn, too. I feel out of breath and tired when I do things, and it gives me anxiety that I feel fatigued, so annoying and also gut issues too 🤦♂️
When I remember, I'll say, oh my adrenaline must think there's a wild animal nearby. Oh and I just thought: wow, adrenaline, thank you, you must think I'm an Olympic athlete to need that much adrenaline! 🤷♀️ or i ask that all that adrenaline be sent to those who truly need it to escape from wars etc.
A recap to help remember. May God help all of us. U ll be fine my friends. 1-aknowledge through mindful awareness. Don't feel like u wanna get rid of them. Instead, use compassion 2.feel your symptoms. Be present. Use Surrender sessions. 3. Begin to understand them better. What's below these symptoms. What keeps them alive? 4. Disconnect symptoms from physical danger. You have a hypersensitive nervous system. 5. Make peace with all of your symptoms. Stay neutral.
Pray to gods all u want to it will do nothing I was praying to god since all mines started and it got me no where no where worse symptoms then before no sleep spasms tinnitus nose pressure and neck stiffness I been to 30 docs 30 meds and nothing don’t ever put false hope in god to help u with anxiety u will regret it he won’t help cure or fix u waste
Perfect timing once again Dennis. I have come so far with your guidance. I have this one last nagging physical symptom that just won't go away. It bounces around my body, but I know that it is just my inner self trying to resist this change. Keep up the good fight my friends!
I have bad anxiety. I get the upper chest thumping a lot do you have any tips on how to get through that without thinking you're having a heart attack?
My anxiety had manifested into severe depression. I feel symptoms and am convinced they haven't yet found what i have. I've lost a lost of weight and have no appetite but after 5 ER visits they tell me everything is normal. I don't know how much more i can take. I've racked up medical bills and in not working because I always feel sick.
Hypochondriac. I had this too. The way I battled this is I stopped listening to my anxiety. For example when I was at work I'd start feeling like I'm gonna pass out and I must go to the toilet. I do the opposite. I stay and keep working. Doing this showed me it's all anxiety and its completely harmless
I never miss a video and your influence and wisdom really speak to me. In the moments I am not feeling anything I am good-but the symptoms upset me so much that rather than stop and think - my need to control causes me to react. It’s an awful affliction. I would be a happier person if not for that!
I like this.. Especially recently when I’ve been feeling pretty good and then a part of me feels the need to “reach” or “chase” the symptoms. Even the smallest intrusive thought. But I just need to realign with myself and my inner child and practicing more peace ..
That feeling of it looking/ chasing the symptons if you are lucky enough to be calm, is so powerful, and changes my energy so quickly. It's kind of like a mother suddenly realising she can't see her 'child' and the panic is almost instant.
Dear Dennis i know there are a lot of comments and you might not read them all,, but i was checking out your video about innervoices,, wish you could do more videos about dealing with your thoughts / feelings / inner child / innervoice / that would be great i wish i could pay for your courses but i need to save some money. thanks for doing this
Thank you as always, Dennis. 😊 For me it seems to be an ongoing pattern and beliefs system, feeling fatigue, mental obsessive symptoms, hyperfocus on my body, and yes, still especially my breathing. I am fully trying to surrender and trust that my body will breathe for me even if my chest, stomach or throat gets tight. Hyperawareness, hyperarousal as you probably remember in my case seems to be ongoing. My living environment isn't very healthy for me mentally and it affects me physically. Again it's that chronic fatigue creating that no or low willpower and keeps me inwards, preoccupation with automatic bodily symptoms. Dennis, i am really trying to let go and simply trust. 👏
I have somatic OCD as well. Going through an episode now. My theme is swallowing. It’s so hard. I send you my love and compassionate support and wish you the absolute best in your recovery. May you heal and be at peace. 🙏
Transcending your lower self, really affected me. I have been working on this. Everything you said in this video is absolutely true. I have really made progress with not allowing myself to get frantic about my anxiety symptoms. Thank you again for a great video.
Hello! I want to thank you for teaching us how to deal with our sysmtoms of anxiety and helping us not to feel alone with this. I started feeling very anxious three weeks ago, I had practically no sleep and I was so anxious about going back to my first day to school, I wasn't listening to my body. I regret that day since because I feel like I've triggered consistent fear of feeling nausea or sickness. Eatting has been difficult as well. I didn't realzie at first but now I'm realizing I'm experiencing anxiety, it's gotton better, not as intense. I've had the feeling of a lump in my throat, extreamly sensitive (easily gag reflex wheb brushing teeth or eating which I've been working on with meditation and learning about anxiousness), odd temperatures, tingling and more. I really dislike when I wake up and the symptoms came back. I've learnt from you and myself that I've made a belief system and when I do such actions with those belifs, I attract negative awareness. I'm still trying to help myself but watching your videos are definitely a help.
This is the stage of healing I am in now. I have been on a holistic healing journey for over a year now, I have been medication free for 7 months, don’t great. My hypersensitive nervous system still gets overstimulated here and there and I’m patiently waiting for it to catch up to my mind. I keep conveying safety to my body on a day to day basis. I am proud of you, I will pray for you. It will happen! We will heal! Thank you Dennis
Thank you! I will be watching this again! These points are super helpful. The surrender sessions are really helping me to stay calm when I start having symptoms. Yeah!!!
I like the way you shift the focus from the anxiety to the hypersensitive nervous system, this helped me a lot in accepting my anxieties, thank you so much Dennis 😎
When I was getting bad palpitations, I took every heart test to find out that nothing physical is wrong...thank God. Since that moment last month if I feel a flutter, I try to zero in on what I'm thinking about. If I'm alone I'll ask myself out loud, "Ok what are you stressing about?" Even if I don't pinpoint it, I remind myself that I'm safe and I'm not going to die from the symptom. It's working...so far so good. I'm also engaged in equine therapy...it's tremendous! I'm very happy I found this channel. Thank you Dennis.❤
I always appreciate everything you say Dennis and this brought home to me that indeed I have a hypersensitive nervous system and I not only worry about my physical symptoms but seem to overreact to things in general which results in palpitations for which my dr wants me to wear a holter monitor...my ECG was normal...everything you said makes perfect sense and I know I have to make peace with my symptoms and not catastrophise...I was doing a lot better before having covid last month and I am determined to do better again by following the advice you have given ❤...I am definitely more than anxiety and appreciate your words more than you will ever know ❤❤
I've been overcoming a lot of obstacles with this demon! But for some reason, I'm at a point where every time I eat, my head feels weary and full of pressure. I've been checked, and there is no diabetes or high sugar,yet I eat, and it's a war of weird head feelings and intrusive thoughts 😢
I'm so thankful for you Dennis! I watch all of your videos and I'm getting a little better but I may be learning slow or just somehow resistant. I don't want to be. I'll keep at this
I've been to cognitive-behavioral therapy but living with fearfulness and anxiety since childhood has made me a master at unconsciously fighting against or fleeing from anxiety symptoms. Now I've been without working medication for a while it seems I can't fight nor flight anymore. And I'm scared out of my mind that there might not be a way out.
I'm not quite there yet but I am listening I get so overwhelmed about things that it's hard for me to slow myself down sometimes I can't read or write but I'm still learning I love listening to what you have to say I just need to put it all into practice and it's hard could do that on my own
Not if you are living with Menopause. I thought life with anxiety and panic was hell when I was younger, but now, my God. Anyone who is a real woman with health anxiety and not near Menopause, be prepared for a hell no one talks about, prepares us for and a medical world that is male dominated. A friend who was the healthiest woman I knew after Menopause mow is virtually crippled by joint pain and the almost 90 symptoms including anxiety she never experienced before. At least she knows how I feel now.
I’ve suffered with anxiety for about 20 years now on and off(although when I say off it’s kinda always lurking) When it’s chronic the worst symptom is a kind of sleep apnea that is hell itself, unfortunately I’m kinda always anticipating the next episode that adds fear to upcoming events like holiday or even a night out..what am I going to do if it happens now is debilitating in itself sometimes, theses episodes are always joined at the hip with health anxiety (brain tumour or other cancers, MS ALS fear of seizures fainting)
I have a fear of seizures and heart attacks. It always triggers when I feel my heart beating really fast/get a little dizzy or when I shake really bad and get a headache. But I know that I am going to be fine
Amazing video! I am currently starting medication for anxiety, so it's all through the roof for me, and your videos help me slow my thoughts down. So far, I'm dealing with numbness on one side of the body, which certainly gave me a scare at first. Keep it up!
Just started getting DBT treatment for distress tolerance. That can be very beneficial to help us feel the anxious feelings because normally we want to resist them.
Thanks Dennis My physical anxiety symptom is a tenseness I feel in my chest It comes in waves but usually does everyday I went to the doctor and got my heart checked out and everything’s normal I have hours where I don’t feel this tenseness in my chest at all But sometimes it gets bad n I get fearful - cardiophobia I believe All coming from a fear of dying which I’m also talking to my therapist about haha Anyway I will definitely be incorporating the compassion towards it that you mentioned in this video Thank you so much One question though - when we are going through a tough time mentally, for me it’s this period - how do we CONVINCE ourselves that we aren’t going to be like this for the rest of our lives? I find that hard to do and get disillusioned
I think maybe we shouldn’t try to convince ourselves of anything. When we seek certainty like that we are feeding into the health anxiety/OCD. Rather it’s sitting with the uncertainty without trying to solve it at all - and even trying to radically accept our feared worst case scenario - that gives us the best chance at real recovery over time.
You have just described exactly what is happening to me, except that I have tachycardia and tension in my chest. The fear is incredible, especially of dying at any moment, it is something that makes it difficult to make a normal life.
I too want to be healed completely from anxiety... Fear and chronic stress.. Changes in life puts me in anxiety loop again with physical symptoms and thinking is out of my control.. Thoughts 🤔💭are automatic and negative... 😢😢 But I'm sure I can overcome... Just too tired and sleepy when I try to breathe and meditate thoughts wander and I end up thinking something else.
Hi Dennis, thanks for the video. I've got Cardiophobia. I've had my heart checked by the Cardiologist and Doctor and all good. I still get palpitations and chest pains which I find very scary, it's so hard to relax with this. I find it difficult to disconnect with my palpitations. Any advice please? Thanks very much. All the best.
Hello Denis and thank you for your valuable advice and help through your videos. I believe that every time I have a symptom I tend to catastrophise and believe i have the worst thing happening because I have a deeper feeling of depression and despair so everything feels off and scary as i have a generally negative attitude and inner state. Does this connect with anxiety and fear of symptoms? Thank you!
What if you can't afford to come to terms with sudden head jerks, earthquakes, floor jumping, dizziness, vertigo, swinging objects and vision issues? These disrupt your life in a surprise. How do you accept what is so crippling and not try to get rid of it
For anyone interested I use seed probiotics; and certain mushroom coffees and healthy gut truly can make you feel better! Just a physical tid bit along with my mindfulness and self care ❤ for those interested and WATER 💦 Sounds simple: those physical things, push yourself, little by little, you will begin to notice or fear symptoms ❤
My biggest most frightening symptom is my “off balance” head. It shows up especially if I have something to do that others rely on me. Example, babysitting my grandkids… what if I pass out or faint while having them in my care.
Man I was doing so well, then I went and jammed with a band to be their new vocalist and my body threw every symptom in the book at me whilst I was there. I kept jamming and doing whatever and not reacting but even when I got home like my whole system was messed up . Even waking up today my tinnitus is so loud and my head can like hear vibrations and my whole body is prickly . It’s bloody horrible
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 But I can't live by limits. I have always been a free flowing, outgoing and just excited for life person. Having a limit on something as basic as playing music with a band (my passion) is ridiculous. What kind of life is that.
@@joshhenchman9810all that will come but you don't want to push your already sensitizated nervous system...thats not the way to heal. Your going to have to take baby steps...obviously your nervous system was telling you.. I can't do this right now...let's take it slow for now.. Just for now... You will eventually get there but you can't rush it or your brain will throw everything at you.. Like it's having tantrums...your not avoiding that wouldn't be good but you have to start slow and baby steps starting out...
I’ve bought ur program, the 12 week one, can I ask a question that initially when you urself recover till now, do you still have any of ur symptoms that lingers, maybe deep in ur heart, u just dun notice or care, but i just wanna know whether do you still have any symptoms that lingers till the day u recover till now?
The worst part of anxiety for me is feeling totally out of control. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews about Normotim-wondering if it could help with that
My anxiety/panic attacks are very painful. Almost like I am having a seizure. I know that it won't harm me, but it is really to the point where I can't walk.
I suffer bad anxiety & have sore legs . My meds don’t seem to be working . I try to disconnect my anxiety . What can i do please . I don’t know why I have it . I lost my husband 3 months ago but I had anxiety before he passed . Please help me find peace . Thank you . 😥
Doesn't anyone else experience nausea followed by spitting and dissociative states or disorientation. When i sense the nausea feelings start, my body panics, i go into a fight or flight response where my brain shuts down and i lose my sense of time place, memory everything. I know the disorientated states started because when i had nausea when i was younger, people around me would freak out, i myself was used to it but when id see peoplegettingso worried about me, i would also start to believe that oh maybe there really is something wrong with me. Seeing people get worried about me as a kid traumatised me so much that as i got older, whenever i got the before feeling of nausea start, my brain would send a signal to my body and senses to just shut down, my mind didnt want to remember seeing people around me freak out so it would force out the memory of every incident. I wanted to see if anyone else had ever experienced something similar to this weird form if anxiety i feel
It is perfect timing. I was just saying to my hubby, "I have free floating anxiety" course, it usually doesn't charge you. Just bugs the H out of you. Doesn't even use manners.....like, "Wanna catch a ride!?" Get it? I'll give it to you... feeling generous.
Dennis, your videos and podcasts are the best medication for my anxiety. I still struggle with symptoms moving from one place to another in the body. What are some skill sets to overcome gut health linked with anxiety?
Does anyone get that skipped beat feeling? If so does it follow with an adrenaline rush ? & also feels like you can inhale for a breath ? Please respond cus I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. Especially when I’m falling asleep
My jaw and neck hurts from all this nice guy talk to myself and letting the sensations be there and show no emotion to them and all that and nothing I get in return more increase symptoms for the people that this works good for me absolute shit srry I appreciate all u do man but it’s not enough to cut through these intense symptoms that I have
Prayers are the first response🙏❤️🧎🏻♀️ Lay them down to JESUS.. pray to the Holy spirit that you are struggling and need strength and wisdom, guidance, and protection.. Seek HIM first🙏❤️🙏
Give me 12 weeks of dedication and I’ll lead you to health anxiety recovery, for good: theanxietyguy.com/health-anxiety-program/
Im doing your program and recommend it to anyone suffering from anxiety
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 I’m willing to try out of options here are u familiar with ocd of internal sensations such as mouth tongue saliva swallowing and muscle spasms in mouth of tinnitus any help with those things I’m willing to try it
An important message for me from this video today is the need to disconnected my symptoms from physical danger, in particular the fatigue symptom. To acknowledge that they come from a hypersensitive nervous system rather than anxiety is a revelation. Thank you yet again.

Your progress is inspirational.
Very good now to teach myself that the feeling of anxiety are not physical and can't hare me ,just let them come and go knowing iam safe
Anxiety left me weeks ago but still left with physical sensations in upper chest..not fearful just annoyed at this point.
Same
Any tips
I have bad anxiety. I get the upper chest thumping a lot do you have any tips on how to get through that without thinking you're having a heart attack?

Anxiety took me out the other day. I had to lay down and try to meditate. It took several hours to feel better.
Weeks sometimes, understand completely

Thanks Dennis
My physical anxiety symptom is a tenseness I feel in my chest
It comes in waves but usually does everyday
I went to the doctor and got my heart checked out and everything’s normal
I have hours where I don’t feel this tenseness in my chest at all
But sometimes it gets bad n I get fearful - cardiophobia I believe
All coming from a fear of dying which I’m also talking to my therapist about haha
Anyway I will definitely be incorporating the compassion towards it that you mentioned in this video
Thank you so much
One question though - when we are going through a tough time mentally, for me it’s this period - how do we CONVINCE ourselves that we aren’t going to be like this for the rest of our lives? I find that hard to do and get disillusioned
By going through what you need to daily to desensitize the nervous system. ❤️

Thoughts 🤔💭are automatic and negative... 😢😢 But I'm sure I can overcome... Just too tired and sleepy when I try to breathe and meditate thoughts wander and I end up thinking something else.
Thank u so much for your words 🎉🎉
Hi Dennis, thanks for the video. I've got Cardiophobia. I've had my heart checked by the Cardiologist and Doctor and all good. I still get palpitations and chest pains which I find very scary, it's so hard to relax with this. I find it difficult to disconnect with my palpitations. Any advice please? Thanks very much. All the best.
There are some TH-cam videos that deal with this exact issue. Do a search for Heart Anxiety Hypnosis.
@@ConradAltan Thank you very much. All the best to you.
Hello Denis and thank you for your valuable advice and help through your videos. I believe that every time I have a symptom I tend to catastrophise and believe i have the worst thing happening because I have a deeper feeling of depression and despair so everything feels off and scary as i have a generally negative attitude and inner state. Does this connect with anxiety and fear of symptoms? Thank you!
Yes
Pre-probiotics the best of the best out there each morning with water have been so great for me and weight lifting physically too!
Thanks for sharing
All this is based on Claire Weekes wisdom, but nicely put in your own words.
She was certainly a pioneer and you will find some similarities between our work yes. 🙏
What if you can't afford to come to terms with sudden head jerks, earthquakes, floor jumping, dizziness, vertigo, swinging objects and vision issues? These disrupt your life in a surprise. How do you accept what is so crippling and not try to get rid of it
Very hard pain for me@@user-wb8nm2lg2d
For anyone interested I use seed probiotics; and certain mushroom coffees and healthy gut truly can make you feel better! Just a physical tid bit along with my mindfulness and self care ❤ for those interested and WATER 💦
Sounds simple: those physical things, push yourself, little by little, you will begin to notice or fear symptoms ❤
Intermittent fasting as well. Your gut is like your second brain. Thanks for the tips
Thank you so much. 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Awesome video thx!!
Glad it spoke to you :)
My biggest most frightening symptom is my “off balance” head. It shows up especially if I have something to do that others rely on me. Example, babysitting my grandkids… what if I pass out or faint while having them in my care.
Thanks Dennis ❤
You are so welcome
Man I was doing so well, then I went and jammed with a band to be their new vocalist and my body threw every symptom in the book at me whilst I was there. I kept jamming and doing whatever and not reacting but even when I got home like my whole system was messed up . Even waking up today my tinnitus is so loud and my head can like hear vibrations and my whole body is prickly . It’s bloody horrible
Yes, beyond your threshold and these symptoms are limiters letting you know what you’re currently capable of and what you should refrain from.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 But I can't live by limits. I have always been a free flowing, outgoing and just excited for life person. Having a limit on something as basic as playing music with a band (my passion) is ridiculous. What kind of life is that.
@@joshhenchman9810all that will come but you don't want to push your already sensitizated nervous system...thats not the way to heal. Your going to have to take baby steps...obviously your nervous system was telling you.. I can't do this right now...let's take it slow for now.. Just for now... You will eventually get there but you can't rush it or your brain will throw everything at you.. Like it's having tantrums...your not avoiding that wouldn't be good but you have to start slow and baby steps starting out...
I’ve bought ur program, the 12 week one, can I ask a question that initially when you urself recover till now, do you still have any of ur symptoms that lingers, maybe deep in ur heart, u just dun notice or care, but i just wanna know whether do you still have any symptoms that lingers till the day u recover till now?
No symptoms, because no background alarm in the body anymore. Focus has turned to the present, my brain seeks safety and therefore my body feels safe.
The worst part of anxiety for me is feeling totally out of control. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews about Normotim-wondering if it could help with that
Its 3:30am in South Africa and last week i had my first anxiety attack, im currently struggling to fall alseep and i dont know what to do
I have sleep anxiety, can’t sleep without medication 😢
My anxiety/panic attacks are very painful. Almost like I am having a seizure. I know that it won't harm me, but it is really to the point where I can't walk.
I’ve had anxiety and severe depression for 3 years. I’m desperate for help.
How does ine no uf its fybromyalgia cfs or migraine or if its icd gad as ume diagnosed all just a carch all with autism

Please study this channel and all its contents, you will find direction. ❤️
Doesn't anyone else experience nausea followed by spitting and dissociative states or disorientation. When i sense the nausea feelings start, my body panics, i go into a fight or flight response where my brain shuts down and i lose my sense of time place, memory everything. I know the disorientated states started because when i had nausea when i was younger, people around me would freak out, i myself was used to it but when id see peoplegettingso worried about me, i would also start to believe that oh maybe there really is something wrong with me. Seeing people get worried about me as a kid traumatised me so much that as i got older, whenever i got the before feeling of nausea start, my brain would send a signal to my body and senses to just shut down, my mind didnt want to remember seeing people around me freak out so it would force out the memory of every incident. I wanted to see if anyone else had ever experienced something similar to this weird form if anxiety i feel
Nausea from eating sets me off too.😢
It is perfect timing. I was just saying to my hubby, "I have free floating anxiety" course, it usually doesn't charge you. Just bugs the H out of you.
Doesn't even use manners.....like, "Wanna catch a ride!?"
Get it?
I'll give it to you... feeling generous.
How can I stop the hyper sensitive nervous system. If someone comes up behind me and starts talking I jump everytime and it's embarrassing.
I am a long time anxiety sufferer. Lately my worst symptom has been brain fog and confusion, it's just horrible. How can l overcome this😪
By calming the nervous system over time, start with my surrender sessions.
@TheAnxietyGuy1 how do l access them ?
How do l access them ?
Dennis, your videos and podcasts are the best medication for my anxiety. I still struggle with symptoms moving from one place to another in the body. What are some skill sets to overcome gut health linked with anxiety?
Tms
Does anyone get that skipped beat feeling? If so does it follow with an adrenaline rush ? & also feels like you can inhale for a breath ? Please respond cus I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. Especially when I’m falling asleep
I do. I am actually concerned that I may have A-fib. I am noticing it during the day as well and feel a catch in my breath.
@@leek7987 have you when to get any screening done ? Or test ran from doctors ?
My jaw and neck hurts from all this nice guy talk to myself and letting the sensations be there and show no emotion to them and all that and nothing I get in return more increase symptoms for the people that this works good for me absolute shit srry I appreciate all u do man but it’s not enough to cut through these intense symptoms that I have
I'm desperate for help, i have it 10 yrs.
curiosity killed the cat and the devil is in the details
Prayers are the first response🙏❤️🧎🏻♀️
Lay them down to JESUS.. pray to the Holy spirit that you are struggling and need strength and wisdom, guidance, and protection.. Seek HIM first🙏❤️🙏
play in 1.5x and this guy becomes interesting.
Why not just watch it at regular speed and enjoy the ride? Life’s too short to rush. Blessings. ❤️

Thank you so much 🫶♥
