Description:

If you're stuck in the health anxiety + OCD cycle, this episode will help you understand exactly what keeps it going: rumination, body checking, symptom Googling, and reassurance seeking. These habits feel protective in the moment, but they train the brain to treat uncertainty as danger, keeping your nervous system on high alert and making intrusive thoughts feel more believable.

In this Health Anxiety Podcast episode, you'll learn:

Why rumination isn't problem solving (it's fuel)
How checking and scanning strengthen fear pathways
Why reassurance creates short-term relief and long-term anxiety
A practical, step by step way to respond to intrusive thoughts without compulsions
How to rebuild trust in your body and tolerate uncertainty naturally
