Get In Touch!

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest challenges I see in people with health anxiety....waiting for medical test results. If you've ever found yourself constantly checking your phone, refreshing your patient portal, Googling symptoms, or imagining the worst while you wait, this episode is for you.

I explain why our anxious brains struggle so much with uncertainty, how they automatically fill in the blanks with worst-case scenarios, and why it's not actually reassurance we're searching for....it's certainty, and that's something none of us can ever have.

I'll also share some practical tools that I use with my clients to help break the cycle, including how to separate facts from fear, stop mentally rehearsing bad news, reduce checking behaviours, keep living your life while you wait, and start rebuilding trust in yourself instead of relying on reassurance.

Recovery isn't about eliminating uncertainty....it's about teaching your nervous system that uncertainty doesn't automatically mean danger. If you're waiting for results right now, I hope this episode helps you feel a little calmer, a little more in control, and reminds you that you are far more capable of coping than your anxious mind would have you believe.

If you'd like some extra support, I've linked my Recovery Guides in the show notes below, and as always, you can get in touch with me if you'd like to find out more about working together.
