Podcast description:

Why does your body react automatically during anxiety, racing heart, dizziness, sweating, shaking even when you're not in danger? In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis unpacks the truth about anxiety's reflex responses and why they feel so out of control.

You'll learn:

  • What automatic anxiety reactions really are (and why they happen without choice).

  • How adrenaline and cortisol fuel reflex symptoms like a pounding heart or trembling.

  • Why these reactions feel out of control and why they're actually protective, not dangerous.

  • The hidden cycle of fear → symptom → stronger fear that keeps anxiety alive.

  • Practical tools to calm automatic reactions: gentle awareness, breathing, grounding, and building nervous system safety over time.

Key takeaway: Your automatic body reactions are not proof of danger, they're proof of a sensitive, protective nervous system that can be retrained.
