Today's Episode:

Short term memory changes are common during anxiety and burnout, yet they can feel unsettling when they show up. In this episode, Dennis Simsek explains why memory often feels unreliable when the nervous system is living in survival mode and how this is a natural response to prolonged stress rather than a sign that something is wrong.

You will learn how anxiety shifts the brain's priorities, why effort and mental checking tend to increase symptoms, and how clarity returns through safety instead of force. Dennis also shares a gentle, practical approach through surrender, including how to use the Surrender Sessions on The Anxiety Guy YouTube channel to support nervous system regulation.

This episode is especially helpful for those experiencing health anxiety, brain fog, or mental exhaustion and looking for reassurance and a calmer path back to presence.
