“Anxiety Setbacks Have The Potential To Crush An Anxiety Warrior’s Spirit Completely”
When anxiety setbacks occur they can leave a person frustrated and completely confused as to why. Why is it that after putting in the effort to heal from an anxiety disorder, and having experienced many great days in a row, the worst anxiety storm appears out of nowhere. There’s a very good explanation to these setbacks and they all come in the form of what I like to call… distraction.
Distraction can show up consciously and unconsciously, and can make a person feel like their back at square on in the anxiety healing journey
Distraction is what the brain loves to do. It loves distracting you from the positive changes you’re trying to make, and pull you back into the subconscious programs of self punishment. Simply because your brain believes that whatever was conditioned in first and for the longest period, should be who you are and the way you should live your life. But if we can understand at a deeper level what forms this distraction can show up in, we can be ready for it and deal with it until they don’t show up anymore.
You never start back at square one, remember that!
No matter how bad your anxiety setbacks get, the progress you’ve made hasn’t gone to waste. This is because the subconscious mind records all of your past experiences whether they are the good kinds or the bad. It just needs further consistency in the face of resistance, and as the small daily wins over fear show up so will the new you more automatically and effortlessly.

Grateful. ❤️
Dennis…. I’m debbie and I’m 62 and suffer with anxiety/depression. A week ago, went to er in ambulance…. real dizzy and nausea. Was diagnosed with incomplete rbbb, which I’ve had and was never told. Docs not too concerned. Now, I think I’m dying constantly! Help
Debbie, I’m a big believer in structure in these types of cases around cognitive, behavioural , and imaginative skill sets. Randomly doing this and that for the sensitivity won’t get you far and only keep you stuck going in and out of the anxiety loop. My programs on this site will help. ❤️
Please help me Dennis! My health anxiety is back, after I was finally better. I was at er 2 weeks ago for dizziness. Tests were fine, except doc said I had rbbb, which I’ve had 5 years before and cardiologist didn’t tell me. Evidently it’s common. But now…. it’s ruling my life. I’m tired of this. Feel like I’m losing it!!
Sorry to hear. I would embark on a journey towards healing through a structured approach around cbt, and listen to this podcast weekly: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/health-anxiety-show/id1461441374
Thank you Dennis! It’s such a horrendous illness. I hope I can get back on track and stay there awhile! What did you do when the Health thoughts bombard your being. I need to realize I can work at being healthy… like I was doing.
Keep studying the content, and start the end the anxiety program since it will provide a proven framework for positive progress. ❤️
