Do you have health anxiety (previously known as hypochondriasis), convinced you have a serious disease the doctors have missed? If you spend time checking lymph nodes, moles, your blood pressure, this health anxiety meditation has been made with you in mind.
TIME STAMPS
00:00 What is health anxiety?
01:00 Face meditation
04:45 Guided imagery for health anxiety
09:23 Affirmations for health anxiety

Thoughtfully created to soothe and calm your body and mind. It is voice only and includes positive affirmations for health anxiety. Designed to help you be less preoccupied with your health, so you can tolerate changes in your body. Letting sensations come and go without attachment.

Your anxiety and fear is real even if the symptoms are benign and an enormous amount of time is spent checking, seeking reassurance and researching health conditions. It can really interfere with your life and especially your enjoyment of your daily activities.

The treatment of choice for health anxiety is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). Both of which include looking at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. And during therapy you learn to tolerate your bodily sensations without seeking reassurance.

This is done after practicing relaxation techniques that work for you. I hope this meditation will be part of your relaxation routine and help you on your journey to overcoming health anxiety.

Be well, be calm,
❤ Clare

  • @MesseJesse2
    i really needed this. i cried. this year has been a hell of my own creation. i want to be free from health anxiety for good
  • @salem6040
    I have crippling health anxiety. I am sick right now with strep AND Covid and this video is quite literally the only thing getting me through this. It says everything I need to hear when I feel like this. Thank you for this video!
  • @amyh8902
    This was amazing. The affirmations are ones I will definitely try when I feel overwhelmed by my health anxiety. I have struggled for 10 years and the idea of “forgiving” myself for worrying has been so comforting as I get very upset when I think of all the happy occasions I have spent worrying about my health. Thank you for this perspective ❤

  • @angellim8806
    I have health anxiety/cancer anxiety and Im desperate to ease the stress it causes me..I am diagnosed with Stress-induced gastritis, and IBS. my stomach hurts everyday (until I release some air but some sensation is just left, feels worse when stressed and anxious) and my mind just keeps telling me it's something else, something serious..Been told my doctor to manage my stress and overthinking about my body. I hyperfocus on the littlest things and then it grows big. Im hoping to get better. I hope y'all are doing great.
