    Feb 16 2026

    Head to theanxietyguy.com for the highest rated anxiety programs online along with a membership community (under community) where we can heal health anxiety together starting today.

    ✨ Today's Episode:

    If you're dealing with high functioning anxiety, you can get everything done and still feel behind. In this episode, I break down why the "done enough" feeling never arrives for Type A nervous systems and how that keeps anxiety, overthinking, and internal pressure alive.

    You'll learn the hidden pattern behind "not enough yet," how it turns productivity into a safety strategy, and a simple daily reset to help your body accept closure so you can preserve energy, build self-compassion, and heal long-term.

    Reflection question: Where does your mind most often say "not enough yet," work, exercise, or relationships?

  • Perfectionism, People Pleasing, and Guilt: The 3 Hidden Causes of Anxiety
    Jan 26 2026

    If you're ready for structured daily guidance to help you retrain the anxiety loop and respond to fear differently, visit anxietyguyprograms.com to find the program that fits what you're going through right now.

    ✨ Today's Episode:

    In today's episode, I'm breaking down three hidden patterns that quietly keep anxiety alive in the background of your life: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and guilt.

    These aren't just "bad habits." For many people, they're early survival strategies your nervous system learned to stay safe, stay connected, and avoid rejection. The problem is that what once helped you cope can now keep your body stuck in hypervigilance, tension, and overthinking.

    You'll learn how perfectionism trains your system to believe it's never safe to rest, how people-pleasing keeps you scanning others for approval, and how guilt becomes an invisible leash that pulls you back into overdoing and self-abandonment. Most importantly, I'll give you simple, practical ways to start putting these weights down without creating more fear or pressure.

    When Healing Becomes Another Form of Strain

    For many people living with anxiety, stress overload has been familiar for a long time. It may have even felt protective. Productive. Necessary.

    So when healing begins, it's common to bring that same energy into recovery itself.

    Trying harder. Doing more inner work. Monitoring progress. Pushing through discomfort. Constantly asking, "Am I better yet?"

    But what if that familiar stress response, the one that once helped you survive, is now quietly keeping the nervous system stuck in alert?

    This episode explores how anxiety recovery can unintentionally turn into another form of suffering when it's approached from the same identity that created the urgency in the first place.

  • Brain Fog and Short Term Memory in Anxiety: What's Really Happening
    Jan 12 2026

    Start Your True Anxiety Healing Today With Me By Your Side Every Step Of The Way → Click Here

    Today's Episode:

    Short term memory changes are common during anxiety and burnout, yet they can feel unsettling when they show up. In this episode, Dennis Simsek explains why memory often feels unreliable when the nervous system is living in survival mode and how this is a natural response to prolonged stress rather than a sign that something is wrong.

    You will learn how anxiety shifts the brain's priorities, why effort and mental checking tend to increase symptoms, and how clarity returns through safety instead of force. Dennis also shares a gentle, practical approach through surrender, including how to use the Surrender Sessions on The Anxiety Guy YouTube channel to support nervous system regulation.

    This episode is especially helpful for those experiencing health anxiety, brain fog, or mental exhaustion and looking for reassurance and a calmer path back to presence.

    ✨ Today's Episode:

    There's a quiet fear many people carry while healing from anxiety: Am I wasting time?
    Time spent resting, slowing down, feeling uncomfortable, and not "moving forward" the way others seem to be.

    In this episode, I want to gently remind you of something important, healing anxiety is not wasted time.

    The most meaningful changes don't come from what happens outside of you, but from what slowly shifts on the inside. You begin learning how to stay with discomfort without trying to escape it, how to meet uncertainty without panic, and how to move through life with more respect for your nervous system instead of constant self-judgment.

    As healing unfolds, you don't return to life the same way you left it. You come back with a different perspective, one that's less pulled into catastrophe, comparison, and fear, and more aligned with the beauty that already exists around you. A quieter clarity begins to emerge.

    If you've been feeling behind, discouraged, or unsure whether this work is worth it, this episode is a reminder that something real is taking place. Nothing is wrong with you. This process is meaningful. And none of it is wasted.
