I'm Peter, and I've been diagnosed with Social Phobia (Social Anxiety), Illness Anxiety Disorder (Health Anxiety), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia at different points of my life, and now my goal has been to use my experience and journey to help others who struggle with anxiety disorders.
In each episode, I sit down with other people who truly understand anxiety - whether through their own lived experience or their professional work helping others. From those with anxiety sharing what actually works for them in daily life, to therapists, doctors, and researchers breaking down the science in ways that make sense.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, years into your anxiety journey, or supporting someone who is, you'll find honest conversations, practical insights, and the reminder that you're not alone in this.

You’ve had the intrusive thoughts. Maybe it’s a violent image, or a “what if” so disturbing you’re scared to even say it out loud. Is it just anxiety? Or is it something else?
In this first episode of the Anxiety Fitness podcast, I speak with Mourice Schuurmans—founder of the OCD support app ObsessLess—about what OCD really feels like. Mourice explains how it latches onto your deepest values and manifests in terrifying, often taboo thoughts. We talk about how OCD differs from anxiety, how to know when it crosses a line, and what healing can look like when therapy feels out of reach.
This conversation is honest, intense, and full of hope. Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts or want to better understand someone who is, this episode is one I wish I heard years ago.
