@@mair18 it's your anxiety, your inner child, your amygdala, the part that is consumed with keeping you anxious because it thinks it is protecting you that way
I always imagine that my anxiety and anxious thoughts are a little elf that’s just trying to be loud. I then place him on my shoulder and tell him it’s all okay he can stay here with me and enjoy the ride. ❤Always helps! Thank you Dennis for this video!
@@barbarotanquero2115that’s a super common one.. same as any other anxiety or OCD scary feeling.. sit with it. Make peace with it. As hard and scary as it is, whatever it takes, sit with that and reframe it, make peace with the feeling and (personally), I tell myself “I’d rather die than feel this type of constant worry and anxiety that stops me from living my life, therefore I will just move forward even if it’s into unknowns”. (It doesn’t have to be that kind of a mantra, but you get the idea). Exposure helps a lot. Just saying F it.. and obviously therapy, any kind of exercise, writing, all helps. And prayer as well!
Wow! This was great. I’ve been on the road to recovery from insomnia from sleep anxiety and you and your videos have helped me so much. I will watch this video every morning and more! I will have a great day! Thank you.
Your the best! In this short time I've been listening too you've done amazing work to help me finally turn that corner!!!! 61 and I'm living finally!!!
“You are not the thing that your lower self believes that you are” hits so deep. Honestly I used to have HORRIBLE anxiety in high school. Over a few months I lost 20+ pounds, had every symptom under the sun, had no friends, etc. I pushed past that and was able to overcome. Now I just moved, got sick, about to start a new job, and getting my period all at the same time and my body is in overdrive! I haven’t had anxiety this bad in a long time but your videos have been truly helping me! I don’t know what I want to do as a career but these videos make me consider going in to being a life coach or therapist! I think people find it helpful that people can relate and usually I feel like a pretty strong person, just when I’m anxious all the voices come in my head and it sucks. I feel like I have to parent that big black cloud inside of me. Telling it to stop. Sometimes it feels like there’s 3 sides to me when anxious. The big cloud of anxiety, little me who is being tormented by the anxiety, and then my higher self. I unlocked this through therapy when I used to go I believe. But, sometimes it feels like my higher self has to babysit my younger self and kinda drag it away from the anxiety. Like right now I’m about to go on a run because getting all the adrenaline out helps. But, I’m having to force myself to do so as I’m still sick. But, my first day of work is tomorrow so I really have to get going. Would also like to note I do get anxious still, just hasn’t been as bad as high school. I’m only 19 so it wasn’t that far away but I did lots of CBT therapy! But I woke up from a horrible dream last night and had new symptoms during my panic attack so it was truly truly scary. I was up from about 2-5 or 6. Which a good nights sleep typically isn’t what I get when super anxious sadly.
Thanks so much for creating this channel. Humour is everything. When i find myself overthinking my chronic health issues joke that it must be my ebola virus playing up again.😊
Your promises are so true. Bringing lightless and playfulness into my life and starting making humorous conversations with my unconscious “self” helps me. I find it sometimes silly and I am not used to this way, but being so strict and analytical didn’t helped me so far, that’s why I prefer to be on the brighter side. I have tried so much in my life, just trusting a friend like Dennis really gives me hope finally..
It’s been a long journey but Dennis has helped immensely. I’ve had some OCD moments lately which are closely related to anxiety due to a career transition, but I know that through self compassion and being aware of our emotions., that healing is realistic
I have struggled with anxiety, panic, ocd, and depression that has been well managed for the last 10 years. Recently though, something tipped my scale and I am starting all over. Back with these crippling symptoms. I am desperately searching for relief and came across your content. I have to say, your approach makes me feel understood without any judgment. I have encountered therapists who were lacking in basic empathy, but I just felt a deep connection through a stranger's (your!) RUclips video. These tips are not only practical, but they are also presented in a genuine manner, tone, and format. You have gained a new follower, and I am truly invested in your perspective and subject matter expertise. Thank you.
I'm going through the same thing. For the last 12 yrs, I was on and off but managing well until recently. Now it's so ugly again. Having to change up my thought process and unfortunately that takes time 😮💨
I honestly had to think whether I had written your post as you have just described my life. I too have been coping well for the last 10yrs and out of the blue I’ve broken down again. I do wish you all the luck in the world and thank god we have people like the anxiety guy helping us out with these video. They are worth more than their weight in gold x
Just subscribed. I am in the middle of an anxiety attack and this is one of the best things I have heard to help me put things in perspective. I will listen to it a few more times today and look forward to checking out your other videos. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. It is so helpful ❤
Amazing tips, thank you for setting me straight. You got my fight or flight to turn off, i was so disturbed by it and suddenly i felt peace around it, and it stopped!
Wow ! Amazing thank you so much for this reminders. Yesterday was the first day ever feeling a little more confident in what I was doing. Yes I was getting symptoms but I reminded myself “the faster you let go, the quicker these symptoms go away” I’m learning to simply letting go then fighting and staying on this rope that I know I can’t win.
I had a lump on my thigh that initially brought on a bout of health anxiety. I got it lanced and its taken its sweet time healing but all the while, making me anxious because it still felt swollen and was turning purple throughout the day along with Seething sensations of burning and itching in my thigh. Turns out I had pinched my sciatic nerve, and I did some stretches to relieve it. And now, the burning is gone and the scar is healing better. So every morning when I wake up, I look at my leg and go "aww how's the little guy this morning" and that has helped tremendously. Part of how I usually approach things with my health is I'll discuss it with my wife; as she is way more versed in health related matters and is a brilliant mind and I'll tell myself "she knows way more than you do and she isn't worried so you're good". It may seem counter intuitive to call myself dumb in the moment but that's just the type of humour that works 😅
The human mind and body is amazing, I love to laugh humor , laughther is healing yes , and smile too , Mostly im serious but im learning that laughter is the way for me to heal more , i try not to stress out bc it causes more anixety for me ,
Im working on my anixety each day , one step at a time , i try to do one thing each day on list , u use to get soooo stressed trying to do everything at one time , plus im going through the change so different times in month its more intense and change of life , the tension can be brutal , but im learning to be aware of what im feeling and the mind i have to tell it no im okay or shut up , or think of something differently like laugh more , and actually laugh more too , thank you again for this video ❤😂, i subscribe to your channel bc i have been trying to help my anixety , God bless you so much
Thank you so much Dennis...having lost my older sister last month has definitely not helped my anxiety at all exacerbating my symptoms of nausea, low appetite, tummy troubles etc which my dr says are completely normal but my lower self still tries to convince me otherwise...your video was very helpful as usual and I realise that I am dealing with grief and not to overanalyse every symptom that occurs...many hugs to you ❤❤
I realised that in every moment, there is always a possibility to just slightly shift your perspective and the whole mind state changes regardless of circumstances. But the mind is tricky and I am often caught for a long time in my negative thoughts.
Since I watched one of your videos, I have become a fan of them waiting for new ones every day as they proved fruitful and are helping me in my journey of anxiety recovery, this is another eye-opening video, I really liked the tip of teasing and being humorous about the unconscious mind, it is really helping to stop the intrusive thoughts, remembering your voice laughing at the unconscious is effective too😅, thank you Dennis❤
This is a great video to share with those closest to me/us… because it will help them understand. Part of my anxiety is triggered by having to explain the “why,” and that “no, I’m not crazy.” This is a great video to share with others so they respect what we’re dealing with.
Fantastic video. The insight that “The more you worry the safer you are” had me fooled. Would be interested to find out how many guys, from a fatherless family, were made broken by a female household? It seem to be common tactic to manage strong male children. Your teaching on Love and the Inner Child was the key for me - love cures all ills! Thank you so much, by healing the inner child I get my true self back
❤ so greatful I found your videos, exactly what I need… many years of mental health suffering, anxiety, insomnia, depression… I am ready to heal. Thank you so much, you really are doing huge service to many lost souls❤❤❤
Im very thankful for your videos they have really opened my mind to a completely different way of seeing what im going through. I do still however feel that fear like theres something drastic i have to change and the thought of change causes me alot of distress. I do however feel this small glimmer of hope that I'm just not seeing thing right just yet. Your testimony alone has given me so much hope because its very similar to mine. Keep up the hard work and talking truth to people who see no way. God bless
i was not working for 8 months and my overthinking kicked in and the intrusive thoughts. i was worrying about other people and what they were not doing now i am dealing with a bad setback but i will get through it
This is so incredibly insightful! I love the awareness of “worry is part of the whole PIC-ture!!” and the inflection used made me laugh so hard! When I get stressed now I repeat that in my head exactly how it’s said here and I can’t help but laugh at myself! 😂Absolutely love this and the great strategies! ❤
Thank you for your insight and help! I am also in the process of reading your book "The Essential Guide To Health Anxiety ". Very good book and I feel I'm learning a lot more about how the mind and body work, and most importantly it gives me hope that I can" heal" anxiety. I'm 61 years old and I've struggled, accepted, learned coping skills to help manage excess anxiety and problems it can create. My entire adult life has kind of went up and down with anxiety intensity. I believe some good things have come from it also. I was diagnosed with CLL ( a type of blood cancer) ten years ago but I'm doing pretty good with that and currently not under any treatment. Mild tolerable symptoms. I believe I often struggle most with physical symptoms or uncomfortable sensations, especially those related to stomach and eating. I sometimes struggle with this......Wondering what came first...... the symptom or the anxiety that elevated the intensity of the unpleasant sensations in my body? I have made numerous good changes to my diet, and more excersize, some yoga, and some meditation all which seem to be helping with my overall wellness. So often simply eating something or taking a walk or getting a little more mindful eases the situation. I'm now learning to just sit with the uncomfortable sensations and accept and believe my body is capable of taking care of its self. Too not spend too much time listening to "little me". I've certainly managed to get off the subject of the original video and start rambling....lol. . Thanks for the help, and best wishes to those out there struggling. I pray you find find the peace within!
Dennis, is anxiety completely over for you? Since you mastered how to deal with it, has it been gone? Or does it still show up sometimes, but you get it under your control? I suffer from anxiety since 2020. It was torturing until last year, when I finally decided to accept it. It has been easier to deal with it since then, but it doesn’t seem to completely disappear. It keeps coming back every 4-5 months. Since I found your channel I learned to not freak out about it and try to embrace it. Your videos help me a lot! Thank you.
Be nervous system is regulated, so stressors no longer keep me down but I am very flexible in response to them. I'm easy going, light, and I no longer allow the mind to lead me here, there and anywhere. I a much more aware, no longer fixated on what's wrong or could go wrong. I have been free for a while now, and continue to apply my daily spiritual and breath work practices yes.
Love this video. I am suffering a lot from anxiety, getting all kinds of physiological symptoms. Fed up and tired of all these... I want to recover and get back to my normal stage😔
This is great and thankful to have found this. How do you approach the waiting in getting test results when there legitimately can be a chance that it’s cancer bc of what was found that resulted in requiring to get further testing.
Hi Dennis, I want to take up the health anxiety program but I don't have the total amount available with me at the moment. Is there any emi option available?
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 yes I saw that but please make the emi option available in future. It is gonna be helpful for some of us who don't have the immediate funds.
I have pain on my left side of my chest and throbing pain on my left side of my head I don't know if it's anxiety but it happens almost everyday, can't stop the headaches or the thoughts, today I got those symptoms plus weakness in the legs
Hi Denis I was doing well with my anxiety but few days ago I had a set back and I don’t know what to do can you do a podcast about setbacks please appreciate very much Franca from Sydney Australia ❤
I'm no really sure of the source of my anxiety. I have my suspects, but I feel if was actually sure, I could then deal with it and do some of the things you suggest. Am I just not being honest with myself? There are obvious things in my life that could be the cause but there are others, like my relationship that I wonder could be the cause. That freaks me out in itself.
In the end of the video, you mention that the symptoms, negative feelings and intrusive ideas are looking for guidance from the conciouse mind. What I have learned from youre other videos is to choose to respons or not respond, not reacting. Would just embracing and sit with the symptoms be enough, or do I need to for example say to the «lower self» everything is ok, dont worry? Please clear up if you can 😊
I am in the recovery mode now and experiencing a lot of symptoms coming from nowhere. To get distracted from the symptoms, I decided to unpack my ps4 and start playing video games. But last night, I was experiencing a huuuuge return of physical symptoms, the whole spectrum of anxiety body sensations. Do you think there is a connection here?
Im sorry, Ive listened to this video along with many of his others and I just find his solutions to anxiety not easily understood. At one point it's to form a cloud in your mind representing the intrusive thought and watching it go away, but then it's to learn how to accept your intrusve thoughts. Ive been struggling with crippling anxiety and insomnia (no sleep at all) for a month straight 24/7. It's to the point I'm so miserable I've thought of taking my own life.
It’s possible your state is clouding your ability to understand and apply the teachings. I’d recommend the surrender sessions on this channel, much love.
I like a lot of this. But I don’t much care for the idea of surrendering to body feelings and sensation. I believe they have a spiritual connection and are lies from an evil place.
I'm struggling today. 🥹❤️ I have to re-watch this video over and over again. I'm trying my best to listen and understand but even that's a struggle. Thank you for making these videos.
I didn't understand #1 at all.... What do you mean by letting go and surrender? Give myself to those symptoms? To my heart racing, the nausea, the panic? How come if I surrender to something so bad will lead me to my healing? 🫨 I block in every meditation that says "surrender" because I truly don't understand....
To surrender is to let go to the potential devastation that the conditioned mind perceives. Sooner or later, we begin seeing the bluff beneath the idea, and the practice alone leads us to freedom. Much love.
Recently the thought came to me that I'm seeking guidance because I need to understand so many things. So when you say to look deeper in to what we've been holding on to, can you please give me an example? It's that in relation to certainty, control or something that has happened to us? Ty 🤍

I'm now learning to just sit with the uncomfortable sensations and accept and believe my body is capable of taking care of its self. Too not spend too much time listening to "little me". I've certainly managed to get off the subject of the original video and start rambling....lol. . Thanks for the help, and best wishes to those out there struggling. I pray you find find the peace within!
Thank you and enjoy the book! ❤️
I have to listen a few times myself you are not the only one
I just found your channel and am finding it very helpful. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Amazing video thank you sir.
Most welcome!
Dennis, is anxiety completely over for you? Since you mastered how to deal with it, has it been gone? Or does it still show up sometimes, but you get it under your control?
I suffer from anxiety since 2020. It was torturing until last year, when I finally decided to accept it. It has been easier to deal with it since then, but it doesn’t seem to completely disappear. It keeps coming back every 4-5 months. Since I found your channel I learned to not freak out about it and try to embrace it. Your videos help me a lot! Thank you.
Be nervous system is regulated, so stressors no longer keep me down but I am very flexible in response to them. I'm easy going, light, and I no longer allow the mind to lead me here, there and anywhere. I a much more aware, no longer fixated on what's wrong or could go wrong. I have been free for a while now, and continue to apply my daily spiritual and breath work practices yes.
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 That’s so nice! I hope I’ll get there someday
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Giving up things that cause anxiety WORRY is the biggest one for me. And CONTROL oh yeah..... give that up.....too
Great thank you
Thank you too!
Powerful video brother! As the saying goes - conquer self (lower self) or be conqured by self (lower self) 😍
You are an amazing man thank you
Kind words much love
Love this video. I am suffering a lot from anxiety, getting all kinds of physiological symptoms. Fed up and tired of all these... I want to recover and get back to my normal stage😔
You will, much love.
Each and every one resonates!
This hit Home ❤
But I’m still trying 🤞
So simple but difficult 😔
Thank you
You're welcome
My anxiety grew me up 😅
Love this video. Point taken" lower self ? "😊
Lower self - inner child - subconscious belief systems
This is great and thankful to have found this. How do you approach the waiting in getting test results when there legitimately can be a chance that it’s cancer bc of what was found that resulted in requiring to get further testing.
With trust in divine direction and healing no matter what, this will bring about a lighter attitude.
Hi Dennis,
I want to take up the health anxiety program but I don't have the total amount available with me at the moment. Is there any emi option available?
Currently there’s a discount being offered through theanxietyguy.com that will help greatly. ❤️
@@TheAnxietyGuy1 yes I saw that but please make the emi option available in future. It is gonna be helpful for some of us who don't have the immediate funds.
I have pain on my left side of my chest and throbing pain on my left side of my head I don't know if it's anxiety but it happens almost everyday, can't stop the headaches or the thoughts, today I got those symptoms plus weakness in the legs
So what or how do you handle spiritual attacks that cause Anxiety.
Learn psychic self defense techniques.
Hi Denis I was doing well with my anxiety but few days ago I had a set back and I don’t know what to do can you do a podcast about setbacks please appreciate very much Franca from Sydney Australia ❤
Checkout out the ‘reframing for setbacks’ imagery exercise, works much better than logic.
i do suffer with 1 through 4. not sure about 5
I'm no really sure of the source of my anxiety. I have my suspects, but I feel if was actually sure, I could then deal with it and do some of the things you suggest. Am I just not being honest with myself? There are obvious things in my life that could be the cause but there are others, like my relationship that I wonder could be the cause. That freaks me out in itself.
In the end of the video, you mention that the symptoms, negative feelings and intrusive ideas are looking for guidance from the conciouse mind. What I have learned from youre other videos is to choose to respons or not respond, not reacting. Would just embracing and sit with the symptoms be enough, or do I need to for example say to the «lower self» everything is ok, dont worry? Please clear up if you can 😊
Sitting with the symptoms proves safety yes, this would be an ideal response when aligned with compassion and patience.
I am in the recovery mode now and experiencing a lot of symptoms coming from nowhere. To get distracted from the symptoms, I decided to unpack my ps4 and start playing video games. But last night, I was experiencing a huuuuge return of physical symptoms, the whole spectrum of anxiety body sensations. Do you think there is a connection here?
maybe look into something called extinction bursts. bless you
Does it come and go away?... Because my symptoms are always there 24/7

Get curious……and have a funny day 😊
Im sorry, Ive listened to this video along with many of his others and I just find his solutions to anxiety not easily understood. At one point it's to form a cloud in your mind representing the intrusive thought and watching it go away, but then it's to learn how to accept your intrusve thoughts. Ive been struggling with crippling anxiety and insomnia (no sleep at all) for a month straight 24/7. It's to the point I'm so miserable I've thought of taking my own life.
It’s possible your state is clouding your ability to understand and apply the teachings. I’d recommend the surrender sessions on this channel, much love.
You have to say
You keep saying let go... how?
Through intention, muscle release, patience and time. The surrender sessions on this channel will help
I’m autistic. I LITERALLY don’t know what it means to “go into the body”. Can someone please dumb that concept down for me please?
Feel your feelings and sensations, with eyes closed, and without judgement.
I like a lot of this. But I don’t much care for the idea of surrendering to body feelings and sensation. I believe they have a spiritual connection and are lies from an evil place.
I'm struggling today. 🥹❤️ I have to re-watch this video over and over again. I'm trying my best to listen and understand but even that's a struggle. Thank you for making these videos.
You got this!
@Theanxietyguy will win hoff breathing help us
Breath-work can help to regulate the nervous system.
I didn't understand #1 at all.... What do you mean by letting go and surrender? Give myself to those symptoms? To my heart racing, the nausea, the panic?
How come if I surrender to something so bad will lead me to my healing? 🫨
I block in every meditation that says "surrender" because I truly don't understand....
To surrender is to let go to the potential devastation that the conditioned mind perceives. Sooner or later, we begin seeing the bluff beneath the idea, and the practice alone leads us to freedom. Much love.
Recently the thought came to me that I'm seeking guidance because I need to understand so many things. So when you say to look deeper in to what we've been holding on to, can you please give me an example? It's that in relation to certainty, control or something that has happened to us? Ty 🤍
