Health Anxiety
Health anxiety can leave you feeling constantly preoccupied with your body, physical symptoms, or the fear that something serious may be wrong. Even when reassurance provides temporary relief, the anxiety often returns, keeping you stuck in cycles of worry, checking, and uncertainty.
You may be experiencing:
frequent body checking or symptom monitoring
googling symptoms or researching illnesses repeatedly
fear of serious illness despite reassurance
hyperawareness of bodily sensations
difficulty trusting medical reassurance
repeated reassurance-seeking from others
fear of missing something medically important
anxiety after noticing physical sensations or changes
Therapy can help by supporting you in stepping out of cycles of checking, reassurance-seeking, and fear surrounding physical symptoms or illness. Together, we work toward building a healthier relationship with uncertainty, bodily sensations, and anxiety so that fear feels less consuming over time.
