In the end, if you have a normal, healthy heart- which I'm assuming you all do, that are listening- then your heart is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing at any given time: to keep you alive, and not only just keep you alive, because your heart is not this horrible, fragile little you know thing that can break so easily.
Feeling your heart race can be terrifying, especially if you're prone to anxiety. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata dives into the world of heart-centered anxiety and offers practical advice on how to manage it. Heart anxiety often stems from the fear that a rapid or irregular heartbeat signals a serious health issue or could trigger a panic attack.
Drew explains that the key to overcoming this fear is through interoceptive exposure, a technique that involves intentionally creating the sensations you fear to desensitize yourself to them. This might sound daunting, but it's a powerful way to learn that these sensations are not dangerous. Drew also touches on the importance of self-care practices like exercise, good sleep, and stress management in keeping anxiety at bay.
He reassures listeners that a normal, healthy heart is nothing to fear and encourages them to face their fears with courage. By gradually exposing yourself to feared sensations and taking care of your body, you can reduce your anxiety and regain control over your life. Tune in to hear Drew's insights and start your journey towards overcoming heart anxiety.
