Guided Tapping sessions help you get good results from Tapping along with an experienced practitioner, but it's important to note that your own words are always the best words. As you gain experience with Tapping, please add some extra Tapping sessions using your own words and to describe your personal concerns with health anxiety.

Listen out for your own thoughts and insights arising during this Tapping session. You might choose to pause the recording and note them down for your own Tapping self-care work. Health anxiety is not the same for everyone, different people worry about different things related to their health. You might feel triggered by something you saw on the internet or heard on the news or somebody else’s experience of illness that brought up fear in you, or a family history of illness.

Getting through the things we face in life that can feel so overwhelming Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

#486: This week on the Anxiety Slayer podcast we’re talking about getting through the things we face in life that can feel so overwhelming

When the little things feel big and too much to cope with, it’s a nudge that we need to slow down and take better care of ourselves. Overwhelm can be a response to anxiety, change, trauma, exhaustion or depression. And, while we often feel like we should push through, it’s seldom helpful.

Understanding what is at the core of suffering with Dr. John Demartini Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

#485 This week we’re sharing a conversation that Shann had recently with Dr. John Demartini.

Dr. Demartini is a human behavior specialist, International best-selling author, educator, founder of the Demartini Institute and the author of 40 books that have been translated into 36 languages. He has featured in films including The Secret, appearing on Larry King Live, and regularly contributes to Oprah Magazine.

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected society there’s an undeniable increase in people experiencing varying degrees of anxiety. We get loads of emails from our listeners about how they are suffering from all sorts of anxiety. At the top of the list is health anxiety followed by fear of having an anxiety attack. Dr. Demartini and Shann dive into the conversation discussing the relationship between fear and anxiety.

Points covered in the episode
John shares his view about anxiety being a form of fear.

“Fear is the assumption that you’re about to experience in the near or far future through your senses or imagination, more pain than pleasure, more negative than positive, more disadvantage than an advantage, or more challenge than support from someone, some event, or something.”

We discuss the triggers of anxiety, understanding the benefits of anxiety and the value of understanding what is at the core of suffering.

We discuss how you can dig deeper and learn to dissolve their anxiety.

“We don’t have to be victims of our history we can be masters of our destiny by taking command of our perceptions. We can make a mountain out of a molehill or a molehill out of a mountain. We can transform our once assumed hell into an opportunity if we take the time to find out what’s behind it and how it serves us.”
