We are two psychotherapists passionate about supporting individuals with health anxiety. Having seen many people fall through the cracks of the medical system, we created Overcoming Health Anxiety as a hub for education and connection for health anxiety sufferers, their loved ones, and healthcare professionals.
Our goal is to offer a space with practical tools, evidence-based strategies, and compassionate support to change how health anxiety is understood and treated, bridging the gap between mental and physical health.
What is Health Anxiety?
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you're already familiar with the overwhelming, constant worry about your health. Health anxiety isn't just about being "worried" from time to time—it’s a deep, pervasive fear that takes hold of your thoughts and disrupts your daily life. It can feel as though your mind is hijacked by fears of illness, even when everything looks fine on the outside. Check out some of the common experiences that we see with Health Anxiety below!
Your mind constantly jumps to the worst-case scenario
You spend hours researching symptoms online
Doctor visits bring only temporary relief, if any relief
You’re hyper-aware of every sensation in your body
You struggle to trust answers from doctors and loved ones
Your anxiety affects your daily life and relationships
If This Sounds Familiar, You’re Not Alone
Health anxiety can make you feel isolated, misunderstood, and trapped in a constant cycle of worry. But you're not alone. So many people experience these same symptoms—feeling overwhelmed by constant fear and doubt, struggling to trust their own bodies, and often feeling powerless in the face of their anxiety.
The good news? Health anxiety is treatable. By recognizing these patterns and understanding how they work, you can begin to take steps toward breaking the cycle. You can regain control over your thoughts and behaviors, reduce the hold anxiety has over you, and start living a more peaceful life.
