Exposure therapy
I’ve experienced some lessening of my health anxiety lately from just getting steps in on my walking pad every day. I was previously at a point where I was concerned about getting in the shower because I thought it was putting too much stress on my body. I was so sedentary and I thought it was because I wasn’t capable of more without putting my heart under stress. Crazy when I think of it, but anxiety isn’t logical. Now I’ve been getting steps in every day and have felt so much better. It’s not like the anxiety isn’t gone, but it’s less frequent and less severe.
