• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You might not have any trouble with the other sensations the other symptom.
• 0:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sure, you can understand that anxiety causes that maybe, but this with specific symptom is just way too bizarre to be anxiety.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it is the weird nerve pain.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's intense digestive issues.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe the de-personalization de-realization is just so strong in your Disassociating so hard that you just feel like this is something totally different.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, in this video I'm gonna share with you how to approach that one stubborn symptom and why you isolating and separating that symptom from everything else It's actually what's fueling your anxiety.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let's get it started
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, if you're new to the channel and you want to know the principles of recovery, I have a free ebook down below that highlights what the recovery journey is like.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Once you understand the road map of anxiety, well, then videos like this will help serve you better.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because if you just watch these videos in isolation, you might not have the foundation necessary.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: and order to begin the healing journey.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So make sure to check out the link down below.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But in this video, I wanna talk about that one isolated symptom and how everyone has that one unique symptom.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even when I was going through my own healing journey, that one symptom for me, what are the digestive issues?
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sure, I can understand the panic attacks being caused by anxiety.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I could understand the intrusive thoughts.
• 1:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Heck, even the de-personalization de-realization that came with anxiety where I felt so numb, where I actually thought I was going crazy, even that I could somewhat equate to anxiety.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the digestive issues, that was just way too bizarre.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: The IBS, that was just too isolated.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: The fact that my body wasn't even able to digest,
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: This couldn't be just anxiety.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: This had to be something more serious.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, in my own healing journey, what I did was is that I isolated all those other symptoms, sensations, as anxiety.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I had convinced myself that it was the digestive issues that were causing all the other symptoms.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I needed to heal my gut.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I did everything.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did cleanses.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I focused on Candida.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I focused on SIBO.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I went on all these different diets.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: All these juice regiments.
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did all these supplements.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: None of it worked.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I was just getting worse and it wasn't until I realized that really fundamentally what was going on is that my nervous system was just hypersensitized and everything I was experiencing was all part of one umbrella.
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: We call the anxiety umbrella.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now you might have your own unique symptom or sensation.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: that one sensation, that one feeling, maybe it's the tingling, maybe it's the brain fog, maybe it's the heart palpitations.
• 2:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever it is, you might have that one symptom that's isolated, that feels different than everything else.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: So how do you go about it?
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, first things first, always make sure you've gotten everything rolled out by your doctor.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Chances are if you're watching these videos, either the doctor is set as anxiety, the doctor doesn't seem to really care because they're not finding anything wrong or abnormal with your tests.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Or you just feel like the doctor has basically told you to stop coming because you're keeping going so many times.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're really what you're dealing with at that point, then is a hypersensitive nervous system.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: We use the term anxiety because that's technically the term doctors use.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we use the term that's more relatable to you.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: But really what you're dealing with is a hypersensitive nervous system.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so what happens is that when you have a hypersensitive nervous system, your body can create all bizarre mysterious sensations.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: We use the term anxiety and yet some people can even feel feelings of sadness, feelings of the let down effect.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: and then they start thinking, okay, I have anxiety, but do I also have depression?
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I heard they're very comorbid with one another.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And what happens is people start creating all these different buckets in their healing journey.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They start creating buckets for one specific symptom and then buckets for other symptoms.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And what this does is that this complicates the healing journey.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: people try to take the shot gun approach where they try to fix each unique symptom.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So panic attacks, palpitations, digestive issues, vision changes, tonight is they look at it as individual problems.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what you want to do is you want to throw everything under the anxiety umbrella.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: What tends to happen when we're guiding people in the healing journey is yes at first they create an anxiety umbrella, but what they actually find is that there's even more symptoms, there's more sensations, there's more emotions that they need
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes people will throw in their physical symptoms, under the anxiety umbrella, but they won't throw in the intrusive thoughts, the what if thoughts, not recognizing that that is also part of anxiety.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you have to make the umbrella bigger.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so what this does is that when you throw everything under the anxiety umbrella, well, instead of making 20 problems, you have a one problem.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now the difficulty is that people have an issue with throwing that one,
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: that, you know, stubborn symptom under the anxiety umbrella, but it's very important that you throw that in there as well.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you have gone to doctors and they've ruled everything out, you might think that this specific symptom is just way too bizarre.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I want you to understand a couple of things.
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Number one, everybody on this healing journey has that one specific symptom.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's that one symptom.
• 5:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: that they want to isolate.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's important to throw that under the anxiety umbrella, especially when everything's been ruled out.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: The second thing is that if you isolate, if you throw everything under the anxiety umbrella, but then treat this symptom as unique, as different as something you need to fix, while throwing it under the anxiety umbrella doesn't work.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: See, once you throw everything under the anxiety umbrella, you want to use our alarm method, which is A, acknowledge, L, label it as anxiety, A accepted,
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: are refocus and M move on.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But if you're only doing that with certain symptoms, but you're not doing it with that one symptom, that one stubborn symptom, it's not gonna work.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's important you throw everything under the examiner and brother.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, a lot of people might think, yes, Sean, but like, what if I actually do have a medical issue?
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: What if I have something else that's going on, that the doctors have actually found that's going on?
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's very simple, let your doctor take the lead and then all the other symptoms and sensations that your doctor feels like it's anxiety or is part of a hypersensitive nervous system throw that under the anxiety umbrella just know that whatever needs to be addressed is getting addressed everything else you can throw under the anxiety umbrella and if you're unsure it's very easy it's just confirming with your doctor but the difficulty that I see people have is that they just can't convince themselves that that one symptom is anxiety.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not about trying to convince yourself, it's just recognizing that you've done everything you can to see what was going on.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you can't find an answer, if you don't feel like there's any anatomical issue, if the doctors haven't found anything, then it's important to understand that that sometimes also part of the anxiety umbrella, and responding as such.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now what happens is people often turn into engineers when it comes to their anxiety.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: They try to deduct, they try to analyze, they try to fix it, they try to learn the mechanics,
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: and what happens is that they focus on that one symptom.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And one of the important concepts to understand is that whatever you focus on in life, it grows.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now the symptom you're focusing on the most is the symptom that's bothering you the most.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so what happens is this symptom can become so inflated, it can be so large that you start convincing yourself, it's not anxiety.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: but it's important to understand that what you've also been doing is focusing on it too.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, the way to view it is, are you doing the 5Fs?
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right?
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you focusing on the symptom?
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you fearing the symptom?
• 7:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you fixing the symptom?
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you getting frustrated by the symptom?
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you fighting the symptom?
• 7:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Are you doing any of these things?
• 7:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're doing these things, we'll naturally, you're creating resistance.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you're amplifying it.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in order to summarize this video, you want to throw everything under the anxiety umbrella.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you start isolating the symptoms and sensations, it doesn't really work.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: You might think yes, this is anxiety, but your nervous system is still going to view that one symptom as a threat and it's going to add pressure and it's causing more sensitization to your nervous system.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what you want to do is throw all of it under the anxiety umbrella.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: and recognize that anxiety creates very bizarre symptoms.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: In fact, as you go through the healing journey, you'll notice symptom shifts.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's all part of the healing journey.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I hope this video helps.
