Managing Health Anxiety

On this highly requested Finding Joy episode, I tackle health anxiety. Having had a child with stroke and seizure and dealing with repetitive viral illnesses over the last year, I offer some support and reframe when approaching worries around our child’s health. I discuss:

• Why health anxiety is common and difficult
• What about our child getting sick makes us worried, frustrated, or gives us guilt and how to reframe
• Three strategies to be more mindful during illness and around threats to our child’s health
