Healing from anxiety doesn’t move in a straight line. Often, anxiety symptoms spike even when you stop fighting them. That doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means your nervous system is finally releasing what it’s been holding back.

That phase can feel really unsettling. (Trust me – been there.) Stronger emotions and a sense of disorientation can show up right when real change is happening.

In this episode, I explain why discomfort can be a sign of progress and how to tell the difference between regression and recovery.

You’ll hear:

• why anxiety gets worse during real recovery
• what the signs of anxiety recovery actually look like
• how living again recalibrates the nervous system

Tune in to get a clear picture of why healing from anxiety still feels hard and what’s actually changing beneath the surface.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Anxiety feels worse when you stop fighting for a long time (00:46)
• Discomfort increases as you go back to living (03:50)
• You begin to feel more than just anxiety (06:28)

Anxiety slowly narrowed Pedro’s life until symptoms were all that fit inside it. Panic attacks hit him two or three times a day. The world felt flat and unreal. His emotions went quiet. Eventually, even leaving the house felt impossible.

But what scared him most wasn’t the symptoms themselves. It was the thought that this was it. That anxiety had handed him a life sentence.

After finding Bye Bye Panic on YouTube, Pedro thought it was yet another thing that probably wouldn’t work. He joined the program with hesitation, but did the work anyway. And trusting the process paid off.

In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, Pedro shares:

• How he stopped fearing anxiety
• Why symptoms don’t mean danger anymore
• What recovery feels like day to day
• What he’d tell you if you feel stuck right now

Morning anxiety can feel like your body hits the panic switch as soon as you wake up. You’re feeling feelings of impending doom, heart palpitations, and/or panic attacks. Sometimes it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck.

I know how convincing that can be. Because I’ve lived through that loop myself.

So what I want you to know is that nothing’s wrong with your body. It’s a sensitized nervous system reacting to a normal cortisol rise as if there’s danger.

In this episode, I explain why this happens and what actually helps your system reset.

I talk about:

• what the cortisol awakening response really is
• how a sensitized nervous system misreads it
• why it's not a good idea to fight the sensations
• the practice that teaches your body safety again

Tune in to learn how to end the morning battles you never signed up for.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• What's really going on? (01:02)
• Cortisol Awakening Response (01:50)
• Why is your nervous system sensitized? (03:51)
• How to overcome morning anxiety (05:44)
• Your nervous system learns safety again (08:47)
