Befriending Fear: Stop Fixing Anxiety & Heal Your Nervous System with Simona Irwin

If you feel stuck in chronic anxiety, fear, sensitization, OCD loops, or nervous system dysregulation, this conversation will change how you understand healing.

In this powerful and deeply validating episode, Simona Irwin explains why trying to fix anxiety can actually keep you trapped — and how Befriending Fear becomes the doorway to real nervous system healing. If you’ve been stuck in sensitization, adrenaline surges, intrusive thoughts, chronic symptoms, or health anxiety, learning Befriending Fear can be a turning point.

Many people living with anxiety, trauma, chronic fatigue, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, or physical symptoms are unknowingly stuck in a fix-it, figure-it-out loop.
