In this episode, I talk about health anxiety and how it creates the need for trying to get more certainty and control about your health and your symptoms. I explain why it's not possible to get 100% certainty at all times - and how it's the chase of trying to get more certainty and control that's keeping you stuck in the health anxiety cycle. I also talk about how nothing will ever be good enough for your anxiety because it will always create more doubt, more uncertainty, and it will always make you second-guess yourself and your symptoms. And I'll also be sharing some insights that can help you with your health anxiety!
