Are you constantly worrying about your health, or the health of a loved one? Do you frequently check yourself for lumps, bumps, tingling, or pain? Do you find yourself endlessly looking up symptoms on the internet? Perhaps you find yourself asking others for reassurance or validation that you're okay, obsessing over health scares in the media, or monitoring your blood pressure on an hourly basis? No matter how your health anxiety manifests, it can be a crippling psychological burden. Endlessly ruminating about illness and death can affect all aspects of life—at home, work, school, as well as the doctor's office.

In Freedom from Health Anxiety, nationally recognized anxiety expert Karen Lynn Cassiday teaches you skills to conquer health anxiety, once and for all. You'll learn to switch from focusing on worst-case scenarios to appreciating the joy of the present moment—regardless of health status. Using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and the author's "learned inhibition" model, you'll finally acquire the tools you need to take charge of your fear and break the cycle of stressing over your—or your loved one's—well-being. You'll also learn effective methods for tolerating health uncertainty, getting in touch with your body's cues, and rediscovering the pleasure of the present.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I would have liked a roundup chapter to revisit and summarise all the tips but otherwise easy to listen to

Helpful up to a point

This book is indeed very helpful for people struggling with health anxiety and regularly afraid they have a serious illness, even though they usually don’t. It really underlines the importance of exposure exercises - like for any type of anxiety (I am a psychologist and would know). I myself also struggled doing some exercises (like writing my own obituary), but am extremely happy I did them - I had to force myself and go through it to really learn and overcome the related fears. I am not completely cured of health anxiety now - just because I need to keep practicing for weeks and months - but would say I am doing significantly better after going through this book and the exercises.

Will follow-up with the audiobook called „Needing to know for sure“ to tackle my deeper traits and need for reinsurance that are both behind my health anxiety as well as my type A personality.

Very helpful book on illness anxiety - if you stick to the exercises
