245. Why You Still Don’t Trust Good News from the Doctor – Understanding Reassurance Fatigue & Rebuilding Internal Trust
In this episode of Anxiety Chicks, Taylor discusses the concept of reassurance fatigue, particularly in the context of health anxiety. She explores why individuals may struggle to trust medical reassurance and offers practical strategies for building internal reassurance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns in symptoms, using mantras, and creating a reassurance bank to combat anxiety. Taylor encourages listeners to trust themselves and understand that discomfort does not always equate to danger.
What you will learn in this episode:
Reassurance fatigue occurs when medical reassurance no longer alleviates anxiety.
Trusting your body again is essential for overcoming health anxiety.
Pattern recognition can help in managing anxiety symptoms.
Mantras like 'discomfort does not mean danger' can be effective.
The 24-hour rule helps in managing panic urges.
Creating a reassurance bank can reinforce positive experiences.
It's important to track symptoms with curiosity, not obsession.
You can build internal reassurance rather than relying solely on external validation.
Discomfort is a normal part of life and doesn't always indicate a problem.
You have survived 100% of your anxious moments, which builds trust.
