  • The Right Way to Handle Anxiety Symptoms (Key Lesson)
    Apr 27 2026

    Take the guesswork out of your anxiety recovery today at anxietyguyprograms.com.

    In this episode, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of anxiety recovery… your body symptoms.

    If you've been dealing with heart palpitations, dizziness, chest tightness, fatigue, or that constant feeling that something is "off" in your body, this episode is for you.

    Because here's the truth most people miss:

    It's not the symptoms themselves that are keeping you stuck… it's how you're responding to them.

    For years, I believed my symptoms meant something was seriously wrong. I monitored them, feared them, and tried everything to make them go away.

    And that's exactly what kept them alive.

    In this episode, I'll show you the right way to respond to anxiety symptoms so your nervous system can finally begin to calm down and heal.

  • The Hidden Reason Your Anxiety Never Settles (Capacity)
    Apr 20 2026

    Take the guesswork out of your anxiety recovery today at anxietyguyprograms.com.

    In this Anxiety Guy Podcast episode, Dennis Simsek explores a key factor most people overlook in anxiety recovery:

    capacity.

    Mental, emotional, and physical capacity and how much your nervous system is actually able to hold.

    If you've been doing the "right" things but still feel stuck in anxiety, overwhelm, fatigue, panic, or constant tension, this episode helps you see what's happening underneath the surface.

    Because when you consistently live above your capacity, your nervous system doesn't read life as stress, it reads it as survival. And anxiety becomes a baseline state rather than a temporary response.

    Many people with health anxiety, panic symptoms, burnout, dizziness, chest sensations, adrenaline surges, derealization, and symptom fear try to fix things through more thinking, control, or techniques.

    But when the system is overloaded, even good tools can feel ineffective.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • why anxiety persists even with understanding
    • how mental overload creates constant urgency
    • why emotional buildup becomes your baseline
    • how physical overextension signals danger to the body
    • why your nervous system responds to total load, not isolated moments
    • how living below your capacity supports regulation
    • why healing is about reducing pressure, not adding effort

    If you're working with anxiety recovery, nervous system regulation, burnout, or symptom fear, this episode gives you a clearer way to understand what's actually driving it.
