The Symptom That “Won’t Go Away”

Almost everyone on the recovery journey has that one symptom. The stubborn one. The one that convinces you: “OK, sure, maybe the other symptoms are anxiety… but not this one.”

Maybe it’s burning nerve pain, dizziness that never ends, heart palpitations, or bizarre itching. You throw it under the anxiety umbrella for a while… but it still shows up. And your brain whispers:

“What if this one is different?"

"What if this one never goes away?”

I get it. Mine were digestive issues.

I could accept the panic and racing thoughts as anxiety. But the bloating, nausea, food reactions felt too real. I tried cleanses, diets, supplements, everything I’d heard of… but nothing worked.

What actually changed things was understanding that my nervous system was hypersensitized. And that everything I was feeling was coming from that one place.

In this episode, I’m sharing why isolating that one stubborn symptom keeps you stuck and how putting everything under the anxiety umbrella is where real healing begins.

Believe me, you're not broken. What feels stuck is your body doing its best to protect you.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to stop fearing the symptom… and start truly healing.
