If you struggle with health anxiety, constant symptom checking, body monitoring, or the urge to scan every sensation for danger, this episode will feel like a breath of relief.

In today's powerful session, Dennis breaks down why symptom checking keeps you stuck in the health anxiety cycle, how it keeps your nervous system locked in survival mode, and the exact mindset shift that begins true recovery.

You'll walk away with clarity, calm, and a new understanding of how to break the health anxiety loop and return to a life of safety, presence, and trust in your body again.
