Health Anxiety

Health Anxiety Workbook
Understand health anxiety, reduce reassurance-seeking, and regain confidence in your body — without dismissing your concerns.
 
Product Description
 
Health Anxiety is a therapist-designed self-help workbook created to support adults who feel preoccupied, fearful, or overwhelmed by concerns about their health.
 
Health anxiety isn’t about “imagining symptoms”. It’s about how the mind responds to uncertainty, bodily sensations, and fear of harm. Over time, checking, researching, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance can actually increase anxiety and reduce trust in your body.
 
This workbook offers a calm, structured space to help you understand how health anxiety works, recognise what maintains it, and learn practical ways to respond differently — without dismissing your fears or relying on constant reassurance.
 
Designed by experienced UK therapists, this workbook blends CBT-informed psychology, anxiety-maintenance models, and emotional regulation tools to help you step out of the health-anxiety cycle and rebuild a steadier relationship with your body and mind.
This is not about ignoring symptoms.
It’s about changing how you respond to fear and uncertainty.
