If you’re trying to fix your nervous system, it probably feels like something went wrong inside your body. Like it changed, broke, or stopped working the way it used to.

The problem is, it was never broken.

A sensitized nervous system isn’t damaged. It’s a system that learned to protect you after too much stress. Panic, anxiety, and strange sensations are signs your body is stuck in protection mode and still waiting for proof that it’s safe.

In this episode, I explain why recovery comes from understanding what’s happening and changing how you respond to it.

I talk about:

• 00:00 - why your nervous system stays on high alert
• 01:51 - how calling yourself broken keeps the alarm turned on
• 05:10 - how understanding what’s happening conveys safety and reduces fear
• 11:30 - why living life with sensations teaches the body it’s safe again
• 15:36 - what actually allows the nervous system to settle on its own

Tune in to understand why fixing isn’t what heals the nervous system.

If intrusive thoughts are still showing up, it can feel like recovery isn’t working. In reality, that belief often keeps the cycle alive. You start scanning your mind all day, checking whether the thoughts are gone yet, then using the fact that they’re still there as proof you’re doing something wrong.

Healing from intrusive thoughts doesn’t begin when the thoughts disappear. It begins when you stop treating them like warnings, problems or reflections of who you are.

In this episode, I explain how to stop confusing healing with failure. Instead of asking, “Why are these thoughts still here?” I’ll show you how to recognize real change and why those shifts, which you might not notice at first, actually matter.

You’ll learn:

• the five signs that show healing is happening
• how intrusive thoughts lose power before they disappear
• why response time matters more than thought presence

If you want a clearer way to tell you’re moving forward, this episode will show you what to look for. Tune in.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Shift from "what if" to "even if" (00:47)
• Rumination reinforces the intrusive loop (03:00)
• You are not your thoughts (06:01)
• Emotional reactions fade faster (08:19)
• Response matters more than thoughts (09:24)
• Your mind is powerful, not broken (10:36)

Anxiety symptoms made PA feel like his own body had turned against him. DPDR that made the world feel unreal. Panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, digestive issues, rapid weight loss, constant fear, and the inability to be alone for even an hour. It became a full-body collapse that lasted for months.

Before anxiety hit, PA was disciplined and used to pushing through discomfort. With a military background and years of training behind him, he responded the same way when anxiety symptoms appeared.

He trained harder, added supplements, tried medications, cold exposure, you name it… But none of it worked, and the harder he fought, the worse the anxiety became.

In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, PA talks about:

• how to stop feeding fear without trying to force yourself to be calm
• what actually shifts when you stop fighting symptoms
• how to build confidence that doesn’t fall apart under pressure

Recovery is possible, and PA is living proof of that. Tune in.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• PA’s background and early anxiety cycles (02:00)
• Worst symptoms and constant DPDR (06:20)
• Impact on work and family life (09:34)
• Surface confidence vs. core confidence (11:13)
• What finally started real recovery (23:41)
• Message of hope for the lowest moments (40:56)

Healing from anxiety doesn’t move in a straight line. Often, anxiety symptoms spike even when you stop fighting them. That doesn’t mean something is wrong. It means your nervous system is finally releasing what it’s been holding back.

That phase can feel really unsettling. (Trust me – been there.) Stronger emotions and a sense of disorientation can show up right when real change is happening.

In this episode, I explain why discomfort can be a sign of progress and how to tell the difference between regression and recovery.

You’ll hear:

• why anxiety gets worse during real recovery
• what the signs of anxiety recovery actually look like
• how living again recalibrates the nervous system

Tune in to get a clear picture of why healing from anxiety still feels hard and what’s actually changing beneath the surface.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Anxiety feels worse when you stop fighting for a long time (00:46)
• Discomfort increases as you go back to living (03:50)
• You begin to feel more than just anxiety (06:28)
• Anxiety stops becoming the center of your life – and that feels uncomfortable (08:38)
• Your signals start becoming reliable again (09:51)
• Recap (12:23)

Anxiety slowly narrowed Pedro’s life until symptoms were all that fit inside it. Panic attacks hit him two or three times a day. The world felt flat and unreal. His emotions went quiet. Eventually, even leaving the house felt impossible.

But what scared him most wasn’t the symptoms themselves. It was the thought that this was it. That anxiety had handed him a life sentence.

In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, Pedro shares:

• How he stopped fearing anxiety
• Why symptoms don’t mean danger anymore
• What recovery feels like day to day
• What he’d tell you if you feel stuck right now

Join them and see for yourself that anxiety doesn’t have to be forever. Tune in.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• Pedro’s biggest anxiety symptoms (02:22)
• How the anxiety journey originally started (05:00)
• Pedro tried meds, therapy, CBD, meditation without success (11:15)

Morning anxiety can feel like your body hits the panic switch as soon as you wake up. You’re feeling feelings of impending doom, heart palpitations, and/or panic attacks. Sometimes it feels like you’ve been hit by a truck.

I know how convincing that can be. Because I’ve lived through that loop myself.

So what I want you to know is that nothing’s wrong with your body. It’s a sensitized nervous system reacting to a normal cortisol rise as if there’s danger.

In this episode, I explain why this happens and what actually helps your system reset.

I talk about:

• what the cortisol awakening response really is
• how a sensitized nervous system misreads it
• why it's not a good idea to fight the sensations
• the practice that teaches your body safety again

Tune in to learn how to end the morning battles you never signed up for.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• What's really going on? (01:02)
• Cortisol Awakening Response (01:50)
• Why is your nervous system sensitized? (03:51)
• How to overcome morning anxiety (05:44)
• Your nervous system learns safety again (08:47)

I used to wake up in the morning feeling like my nervous system was on fire.

No trigger, no reason.

Just a body that felt like it was getting hit by invisible shocks all day long.

I researched every symptom.

I checked my pulse constantly.

I lived in fear of my own body.

But what I learned is this:

The problem wasn’t the sensations – it was the state my nervous system was stuck in.

And once I learned how to calm my nervous system, all my sensations lost their grip.

Key Takeaways:

• Intro (00:00)
• It’s not how you feel, it’s what you do next (00:33)
• Why your nervous system got this way (03:45)
• Healing happens in mismatched moments (06:39)
• Reacting with calm rewires the body’s alarm system (08:18)
• Build a life that signals safety (10:22)

In this video, I’ll walk you through 10 micro habits that completely changed how I deal with anxiety, without meds or endless therapy.

As you know (and as we all have at some point), I used to fight every symptom. Digestive issues, racing heart, intrusive thoughts, you name it... But the real shift happened when I stopped trying to fix everything. Healing actually came from doing less, not more.

Each of these habits helps you do exactly that: less. Less controlling, less fixing, less overthinking, less chasing calm... Instead, they teach your nervous system that you’re safe and that you don’t need to stay stuck in survival mode anymore.

Tune in and let me show you what actually worked for me and for so many others who’ve gone through the Bye Bye Panic program.
