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 stops becoming the center of your life – and that feels uncomfortable (08:38)
• Your signals start becoming reliable again (09:51)
• Recap (12:23)

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

• Intro (00:00)
• Pedro’s biggest anxiety symptoms (01:59)

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)

I used to wake up in the morning feeling like my nervous system was on fire.

No trigger, no reason.

Just a body that felt like it was getting hit by invisible shocks all day long.

I researched every symptom.

I checked my pulse constantly.

I lived in fear of my own body.

But what I learned is this:

The problem wasn’t the sensations – it was the state my nervous system was stuck in.

And once I learned how to calm my nervous system, all my sensations lost their grip.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• It’s not how you feel, it’s what you do next (00:33)
• Why your nervous system got this way (03:45)
• Healing happens in mismatched moments (06:39)
• Reacting with calm rewires the body’s alarm system (08:18)
• Build a life that signals safety (10:22)

In this video, I’ll walk you through 10 micro habits that completely changed how I deal with anxiety, without meds or endless therapy.

As you know (and as we all have at some point), I used to fight every symptom. Digestive issues, racing heart, intrusive thoughts, you name it... But the real shift happened when I stopped trying to fix everything. Healing actually came from doing less, not more.

Each of these habits helps you do exactly that: less. Less controlling, less fixing, less overthinking, less chasing calm... Instead, they teach your nervous system that you’re safe and that you don’t need to stay stuck in survival mode anymore.

Tune in and let me show you what actually worked for me and for so many others who’ve gone through the Bye Bye Panic program.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the 3 exact steps that helped me break free from years of panic, racing thoughts, constant overthinking, and many other symptoms I struggled on a daily basis.

Like most people, I tried to manage anxiety – resist it, analyze it, force myself to “feel better.” But that only kept the loop going.

The real shift came when I realized I didn’t need to control my thoughts – I just needed to stop identifying with them. Because a thought is just a thought. It’s not a truth, not your identity, and definitely not a threat.

In fact, the healing came when I stopped trying to fix symptoms and started living with them. That gave my nervous system the space it needed to heal.

So join me now, and I’ll show you exactly how I did it.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Step #1: This is A thought, not YOUR thought (00:31)
• Step #2: Your need for control is holding you back (04:00)
• Step #3: You don't need to fix how you feel to live (06:52)
• The goal is not to stop thoughts but to keep living anyway (08:37)

There’s a strange comfort in the sweat.

Not because it solves anything, but because it seems to quiet something down. At least for a while.

The post-workout calm – loose muscles, slower thoughts – can feel like relief. And maybe it is. But when the anxiety keeps creeping back in, just as loud as before, it starts to feel like you’re chasing something that never really stays.

This episode explores why exercise feels so effective in the moment – and why leaning on it too much can quietly turn into a trap. A loop that looks like control, but might be reinforcing the very thing you're trying to escape.

We’ll look at how your system handles stress, what actually burns off adrenaline, and why the path to long-term ease might be different than you think.

Understanding this won’t just give you clarity. It might give you some breathing room. Let’s dive in.

(This is an AI-generated episode inspired by my YouTube videos. I personally moderate these to share insights more efficiently, keeping the content informative yet completely free.)

Key Takeaways:

• Introduction (00:00)
• Exercise gives short-term anxiety relief (00:41)
• Adrenaline stays unburned without action (02:07)
• Why fitness doesn't prevent anxiety (08:46)
• Sensitized nervous system analogy (10:15)
• Acceptance vs. resistance explained (11:43)
• Desensitization reduces adrenaline production (12:49)
• Recovery requires a new relationship with symptoms (14:10)

For years, I thought I needed to “think” my way out of anxiety.

But my body wasn’t listening.

Because it wasn’t a thinking problem – it was survival mode.

My nervous system had been stuck in fight-or-flight for so long, I forgot what calm even felt like.

When I finally accepted that talk therapy, journaling, and analyzing every sensation weren’t working, I turned to a different approach.

I stopped trying to fix it – and started letting the feelings be there. No resisting, no running.

And that’s when my body began to reset. Not overnight, but moment by moment.

In this episode, I share the 4-step process I used to get out of survival mode and back into life.

Tune in to learn how to retrain your nervous system to feel safe again.

• Key Takeaways:
• Intro (00:00)
• Step #1: Stop trying to avoid the feeling (00:44)
• Step #2: Develop curiosity over analysis (03:01)
• Step #3: Re-engage with life (05:10)
• Step #4: Reinforce the new normal (06:35)
• True healing means retraining your body to live again (08:06)
