Overcome Health Anxiety with Online Therapy
Are You Health Conscious or Health Anxious?
Almost every one of us gets concerned about our health and well-being. And that concern can motivate us to try to optimize our eating, sleep and to lead a healthy lifestyle. Being health conscious can be great. It helps a lot in leading a healthy, happy, successful and meaningful life.
However, problems arise when this health consciousness gets transformed into “health anxiousness”. If you become too obsessed about your health and if you get too apprehensive that you are suffering from a severe illness (without the presence of such medical symptoms), then you may be experiencing health anxiety. In the past, psychologists referred to this as “hypochondria”. However, it is now called Illness Anxiety Disorder.
Illness Anxiety Disorder is a somatic symptom disorder in which the person suffering from it gets overly anxious or obsessed over his/her physical conditions. They see even a minor problem as an exaggerated severe illness. People suffering from Illness Anxiety Disorder often require continuous care, support and assurance from health service providers, family and acquaintances.
See if you recognize yourself in the symptoms of health anxiety:
What’s more, people with Illness Anxiety Disorder can also experience additional mental health issues, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Clinical Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Treatment Procedures
The good news is that Illness Anxiety Disorder can be treated. Effective methods of treatment include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy and support. You can receive these types of treatment here at Online Therapy.

"After only 3 days into this therapy program, I was able to reprogram my negative thoughts and gain control over my negative behaviors & reactions by replacing them with a newfound positive attitude and seeing my problems and obstacles in a whole new light.
I am now at the end of completion with this program, however, this is just the beginning of living the life I have always dreamed of ~ they say, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life!" and now that saying makes so much sense to me because I have been given All the tools and knowledge that I will live by and utilize on a daily basis for the rest of my life ~ these positive changes are so easy to achieve and have become a natural part of my healthy daily tasks, just like brushing my teeth and now including a dose of Yoga to my daily routine, improving my breathing and posture (Oxygen ~ It's a helluva drug!!! haha)!
I am also extremely grateful for my wonderful Therapist, Lee! ;-) I am beyond grateful for this entire program because it truly IS a lifelong game changer for a healthy, happy and wealthy life! If you can apply the teachings of this program to your daily life, You Can and Will be able to face any obstacle head on and succeed! (-:"

"I enjoy being able to do this at my own pace however that is also a problem for me because I keep avoiding doing the next step for days.
It makes me feel better doing the courses however I don’t think I can afford to pay for this service for very long."

"I would highly recommend this online therapy. I think the worksheets are very useful, in the way that they brought to me a different perspective on looking at my problems. Therapist is highly professional and helpful with his insights, bringing words of wisdom, which I much needed to hear"
