Anxiety FitnessHealth anxiety can be one of the most confusing forms of anxiety to live with. The symptoms feel real. The fear feels real. And yet you’re often left wondering whether you’re missing something, overreacting, or failing to manage it properly. One of the questions I hear most is: Why does anxiety show up as such intense physical symptoms? That’s exactly what this session is about. Tomorrow at 12PM UK time, psychotherapist Sophie Gordon will be hosting a live session inside the Anxiety Fitness Community to break down what health anxiety actually is, and just as importantly, what it isn’t. This isn’t about reassurance or symptom-checking. It’s about understanding the patterns that keep health anxiety going, reducing self-blame, and learning a healthier framework for making sense of what you’re experiencing. Sophie specialises in trauma, PTSD and anxiety, and is trained in EMDR, ACT and CBT. Her work focuses on helping people take the intensity out of anxiety responses so they can stop organising their lives around fear and return their attention to living. The session will include clear explanation followed by a structured Q&A, where common and general questions can be explored in a non-judgemental, grounded way, without feeding the anxiety cycle. We’ll cover: What health anxiety is, and how it differs from panic disorder Why anxiety can create real physical sensations How understanding anxiety differently can reduce its power Your questions answered with clarity and compassion This session is suitable for anyone experiencing health anxiety who has been medically cleared and wants perspective, understanding, and practical insight. The session will be live and numbers are limited to keep it supportive and manageable. If you’ve ever felt stuck between fear and doubt, this conversation is for you. Join at the link in my b!o
