How To SURRENDER In The Face Of Anxiety (THIS IS HUGE)  

Start your true anxiety healing with me at theanxietyguy.com/all-programs/ today.

I wish I'd come across you 6 years ago. I've been a prisoner in my own life too for too long, letting my little anxiety voice destroy my life and hid away for a long time. Thankyou , what a gift you have, to be able to share how to manage the catastrophic anxiety ruling so many lives.

I needed this today! I’m fighting the anxiety so hard today and fighting the feelings and emotions that irrational fear is causing. I have to stop fighting this and surrender.

My health anxiety has been so high since my panic attack 10/3 so about a month now. The symptoms switch every few hours, to every few days. That helps me remind myself that it’s JUST anxiety because if it was something serious then symptoms wouldn’t go away and my focus wouldn’t switch from being afraid of a stroke to heart attack to a seizure to a blood clot etc every few days.

I needed to listen to this today. I practiced this yesterday and also practiced kindness and laughter and the anxiety would die down and it was in waves but by night time I felt better. I’m going to continue to practice “being with the feelings” rather than fight them. I will surrender 🙏🏽 💕 Thank you so much

No better feeling in the world than oneness

This is so true! Your anxiety release meditation helped me to get rid of "ball of pain" in my left chest, that was there every time I feel stressed and/ or anxiety. After the meditation, I burst out emotionally and it was gone for good! I couldn't believe it...

Such great content. You addressed everything I have been working to achieve. Thanks for the new look at it. Surrender, letting go, leaving things alone, trusting, accepting, witnessing etc..... They are obviously all connected and the keys to conquering anxiety. Like you said, it takes courage though. That is the definition of my last name. I need to "live" my last name more. You are helping. Thank you Dennis.

Hey Dennis, Your becoming my friend, companion, and closest advisor thru these long nights I've been going thru for a couple years now. I don't wanna keep going in to my details, I'm à US Marine, no longer on active duty, and in the course I suffered severe spinal damage that went almost undetected, but misdiagnosed which went on until just over 3 yrs ago when I started having strange numbness/weakness in my feet and right leg. Long story short, 3yrs and 16 major surgeries in, and getting ready for nmbr 17, severe pain is my constant companion, I've lost alot of strength and unable to walk unassisted, we are 🙏🙏 this next and hopefully last surgery will restore my ability to walk without a walker, or cane/crutches. I've gained a bunch of weight from being so immobile and unable to really exercise, and that is delaying surgery, because due to the length of, and the bone and blood loss, and other complications that can accompany spinal surgery the Neurosurgeon is adamant I be at a lower bmi. The other gift from my military service is severe PTSD, anxiety/panic disorder. Like alot of Vets, I've had repeated exposures to traumas not just myself, but others around me, close friends etc... but this stuff started during my last year on active duty, became worse over time with periods of what I'd call remission, or thought I'd beat it, but even right now, it's back worse than ever. In the military when it started I was sure I was having heart attacks, or strokes, I didn't wanna be seen about it cause it would end my military career. I discovered alcohol, and it was an instant cure. Well, let's just say I've used up that option, and that almost killed me for real, over time and amounts made me very sick, and almost dead a couple times. But I put it down, and again thought I'd beat anxiety until all this happened now. But, I thought I was handling things well, meaning I was in and out of major surgery after surgery, complications, icu's, ER's, Ambulances, and being in the hospital more than home from late 2019-2022, thru it all, yeah I had some fear, some worry, especially like anyone your nervous before surgery, getting put under once, let alone 16x. And they weren't easy, they were long, sometimes 10-16 hours. So I've been thru a ringer, and the pain, barely able to sleep at night, sometimes maybe an hour or 2 during the day. And, as much as I wish I didn't have to, I have to use very strong pain medications to manage the extreme levels of pain that comes w this condition. Without them I'm curled up in a ball, laid out, and I won't lie, brought to tears wishing for death to make it stop. I thought I knew pain, and in the course of my life, the military etc..I experienced high levels of pain, and have pushed my body to limits, and beyond which most people can't even imagine, but all of that pales in comparison to this now. This has got way too long, and too much info probably Anyway, now about 6-7 mo ago anxiety and panic attacks hit me stronger than ever before, I mean bad. Now it's torture because I can't just jump up, go for a long run, or walk, or hit the gym and wear off all the anxiety. No I'm stuck because I can barely walk right now, and the anxiety at times feels like I'm gonna just implode, or my brain will just go nutts and I'll finally just go crazy. As if I didn't have enuf, the beg of November I came down w Covid-19. Both my gf and I, courtesy of our roommate who caught it at work. I am just now getting better, I had, and still have tailings of a really bad case of Laryngitis, completely losing my voice, and the symptoms with my anxiety and panic thrown in, at times feeling like I couldn't breath. I could, it was anxiety telling me I couldn't. My Gf prob took me to the ER 8-10x this mo., each time they'd do a complete and thorough work up, aside from some tachycardia and elevated BP, everything was OK, lungs good, CT scans of my neck and throat, all normal so no complications or swelling from Laryngitis, just no voice, which still gave me strange feeling in my throat, really dry, and almost like my airway was obstructed, but it wasn't. I apologize Dennis for the novel here. Things are bad, the anxiety and panic attacks, my real pain, aggravated even more by these constant states of high awareness/anxiety, and 5-6 full blown panic attacks each day and night. I'm finding these posts making alot of sense Dennis, and just wanted to say "Thank you!!"". So, I'm just doing these things you suggest, I'm just allowing the anxiety, the panic attacks. I'm trying to just observe, and I have your video segments I've been going thru. Finally I'm understanding what all of this is, and what's happening thru all this anxiety. Just your voice, and the quiet confidence and strength I can see you have, helps me calm down, and slow down the ruminating negative thoughts, ya know? The " your dying, no your not, yes you are, what if my brain just strokes out or my heart from the floods of panic" Dennis I'm glad and greatful your here, and will just again say thank you. 🇺🇲SF

I have watched most of your videos over the past year and have taken one of your courses, and would like to say that this video reaches a totally new level of deep anxiety healing. I truly appreciate all your help.

Brillant video ty Dennis moving towards inner peace inner freedom higher self love you ❤❤❤😁😁😁😘😘😘

Always something different that shows a new angle to master this horrible sensation. What a gift you have

Listened to this one again Dennis, might be the most powerful one yet

You have helped me so much over the years. I want to help others as well and give back. Thank you

Ha!! Your park agitation example is spot on!!! I had not realized that. Thanks for your video.

God bless you Dennis and why you do. Thank You.

" Surrender is becoming one with your lower self" .... I really appreciate the clarity I got from your presentation in the park. I find it easy to surrender in the moment while doing your surrender meditation safe at home however have difficulty doing it when out in the world feeling a "symptom" as it's usually not an opportune time. The suggestion of practicing this while sitting on a park bench feeling judged is excellent. Thank you again and again. 🙏🌿

Thank you! This has helped me understand a lot better!

Great video! Everything to the point❤

Very good this makes alot of sense thank you Denis

thanks to your surrender videos. I have started to surrender to the environment when I walk my dog. I surrender to the sky, the clouds, the birds, the trees humming in the wind, even to the noise of the vehickles in the woods. When I sit at home and making the surrender meditations it feels like underneath there is grief. Can it be true? I am from Denmark so excuse if my spelling is not correct. And thank you so much for your videos which give so much hope and the sense of another world full of joy and love. Even if only in a glimse.

I really enjoy listening to you

I love the outdoor videos! thx!

This video really resonates with me. I also worry (unsurprisingly) that directing so much attention towards my physical symptoms will just continue to nurture my obsession with them.

Thank you, Dennis my friend and Brother! I needed this one more than anything..surrendering is the way for me.❤

Thank you Dennis.I suppose we are a work in process with people like yourself who help and guide we will get there. .

You’re the man Dennis. You’ve helped me through the most important year of my life. Thanks for doing what you do!

Thank you so much for your content! It has been a game changer for me and this video really helped push me to the next part of my healing. Thank you again! You are such a warrior!! 🙂

Great video really helpful thankyou. You explain things so well and make it sound like it is all doable, which gives me hope 🥰

Such wise words Dennis....am trying to follow surrendering each day thanks to you ❤

I surrendered All. Dennis sitting with the feeling, can bring you to a deeper understanding of who I am. Surrendering is sitting with the symptoms. Thank you so much for this clarification I needed. Being a recovering sufferer of hypochondrism, when I shared this with my friends, all said the same thing, your anxiety. Ding, Ding,. I had to explain to them that, before I knew the thing had a name, I suffered alone and detached from my family. I can say today I continue to my journey, like happiness is not a destination, my journey on the path of curing my anxiety, I have to work at it daily, it has become a ritual. Thank you Dennis you don’t even know the depths of how finding you during the beginning of the Pandemic and continue to follow and live by every word you say. I am more than Anxiety. P.S Have you tried Matcha green tea or mushroom coffee ? My friend you have to try them, especially the green tea matcha with blue agave, awakens your focus. Namaste

Not even through the whole video yet, but had to stop and say THANK YOU for this very clear, concise explanation! This is so helpful. Understanding really truly helps so much in the challenging moments, and you articulated these ideas and processes so well. ❤

Probably the most illustrative description of anxiety surrender I’ve heard so far. Thank you, this is helpful 🙏🏻💗

Wow!!! I have been working for years to stop bracing and tensing against anxiety and the sensation. I am slowly working on being present with it and this video really helped reinforce the work i am doing. Thank you❤

I’m doing Dennis’s Health Anxiety program and it’s very helpful to me.

Finding myself in others is the greatest gift that surrender sessions have provided me with as I am no longer trying to control other people. Thanks Dennis for all these valuable insights.

Thank you for everything you do! I am just starting to read your book and it makes so much sense. I have had CBT in the past but all it did was turn the noise down. I'm hoping to find a permanent road map out of this. Thanks again!

What an amazing lovely person you are k

Thank you so so much!!! Your videos/podcast are my #1 support and couldn’t imagine a day without it right now. Had an intense setback today, everything I thought I’ve gotten rid of came to surface again, heart palpitations, tingling sensation and heavy breathing etc, surrender sessions really get me through these challenging moments. Its a long journey but I have faith it will work out with love and patience!❤️

Great ❤

I try to remind myself often "And this too shall pass." It helps be stay grounded in the present moment as much as possible; sometimes it takes deep breathing or mindfulness (I use a book called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels for journaling and cognitive exercises), and sometimes I just have to hold on and it eventually passes. It's a good reminder, because our minds are conditioned to stay in panic mode anticipating the next trouble.

I have anxiety and a few other conditions that make it very hard to cope with anxiety. I'm finally in a place where I can start trying to deal with my anxiety and I just found your channel. Thank you for putting this content out here for everyone.

Exactly dont surrender one day. Do it now. I am a prime example of what happens when we surrender one day. Every day we can better together. Thankfully we have a channel the can help us practice.

Anxiety makes me believe fate even now

thankyou 😊

Yes, its really over anxiety,its finding yourself.

No need to push. Everything happens naturally. I hear something different everytime I listen to this. It’s like you’re channeling.

i've been studying ... challenging my beliefs... i'm getting rid of the bad beliefs and redeveloping my new beliefs... I"m anchoring my new beliefs and I have to surrender "give up" unhelpful beliefs

Just subscribed! I have after about a year and half realized I have Health Anxiety.Have watched a couple of your video's and describes me to a tee.Since turned 60 a couple of yrs ago have had some health ailments which I think started the anxiety never had any health ailments till then which I have been very fortunate.Had a question I have family members that have been on anxiety meds for years pushing me to take which I don't want to start for several reasons but recently a buddy introduced me to cbd oil which I took 1/2 dropper of and it really helped with the anxiety for a few hours wanted to know your thoughts on that?I've also been praying alot more and that has helped as well...any info to help with this greatly appreciated and plan on watching your video's from here on out thx so much

🙏

Desensitize to the thing I’m afraid of. Wonderful

Have you ever worked with someone who doesn't have anxiety before things but afterwards? After reading the book The Highly Sensitive person.. I realized what may be happening to me. I go do all kinds of things and even have a side that does things knowing I'll have to pay later. But the anxiety comes later in the form of overstimulation from taking in way more than some people may. So I am stuck decompressing and feeling like crap, almost paralyzed. For instance I could go to a park , sit, eyes closed, talk with everyone, and have zero anxiety until later that night.

❤❤❤

Is it common to surrender one day and the next day and the same fear come up again the next day or the symptoms increase the next day because of the exposure?

❤❤

Bad day today really struggling. Will this ever ease very daunting.

Thanks Dennis. Question: I find myself giving time to focus on my tight chest and just be with the feeling of it. It starts to get heavier and more intense so I sit with it and it gets heavier. I then go about my day and now my body feels super anxious, any thoughts on this please? 🙏 I know we aren’t supposed to think of it to go away but just wondering what you’d recommend here. Great vid as always!

Is misaphonia a symptom of anxiety. Since my mom passed away 2 years ago when I was only 20, I’ve been getting an intense fight or flight response to daily household sounds like doors banging, footsteps, cupboards cl being closed etc

Dennis, my friend and brother, I would love to connect with you for a session yet, it's quite expensive. I am going through an active PTSD, and my mom is one of my biggest culprits. I can barely function from hypervigilance due to multiple reasons. I would really love to be able to have a face to face session with you. Please, is there something you can do, also payment installments. Even a short advice one on one.? I am practicing surrendering, yet influences are there. I hope you can help me??🙏

I have a very peculiar problem. About 6 years ago I sat down in a chair in a new job and felt slightly uncomfortable. After a couple of months this turned into dizziness, brain fog, twitching, at my desk. For a long time I was convinced it was an ergonomic issue but I now think I have an anxiety disorder. I still can’t sit at my desk at work without these symptoms but can get by working from home. How do I go about getting rid of these symptoms in the office? Exposure doesn’t work so how do I ‘surrender’?

I suffer from really bad head and nasal congestion daily and really feel like this adds to my (sometimes) low mood and anxiety levels. I know you are not a doctor, but do you think this could be linked?

10:48 made sense surrender to anxiety "Make it happen" hmmm.

I have severe anxiety really bad and I get lots of anxiety attacks it’s hard to breathe hard to think lots of running thoughts hard to swallow shaking anxious nervous weak I get scared. I been like this for years. Family or friends come over and there goes my anxiety attack I tell them it’s not a good day and I go to my room and cry 😭 praying please I want to be normal again and I don’t like taking medication anymore. How do I get Better 😭

So, it’s not the elevator that is to be feared but the fear is the sensations of anxiety.

Hi Dennis ..can I buy your books in Ireland?

Has anyone ever had anxiety with slow heart rate, feeling very calm, and slow feeling, but feeling panic st same time?

But how do you surrender to anxiety about the future, especially when you know the probabilities are heavily stacked against you?

Hi Dennis, I’ve been trying to do this but there’s definitely a block/fear when the wave comes through my body that I struggle with sometimes. Can I ask you about your journey with anxiety and how long it took you to overcome it? I love your videos I’ll definitely take your advice during my journey 🫂

That's fine until I feel dizzy - then I can't think anymore but terror. It's been 30 years.

You’re saying surrender to feelings what about the endless loop of perpetual thoughts? I’ve been trying to do this. I really want to tie a cement block to the ankle of my anxiety/fear and get rid of it. Sitting with it & surrendered to it is the opposite of my primal instinct. Please help me understand

What did You mean by succumbing to the Intrusive idea, I deal with Harm OCD and have had it for nearly 15 yrs, I haven't or will never act on my thoughts, don't know if that's what You mean, these thoughts are ego- dystonic

Is it the same as ignoring it even when it bite so much by allowing it to do what it wants

Do you believe in Jesus?
