If you experience this kind of hypersensitivity to bodily sensations or emotions or have a history of high anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia or health anxiety, then this video on anxiety sensitivity is important for you.
I am going to describe what anxiety sensitivity is and why it is important, how it relates to panic disorder, health anxiety and other anxiety disorders and phobias and how to treat it.
Here is the link for the video on Interoceptive Exposure Therapy:

What is Anxiety Sensitivity?
Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of internal bodily sensations associated with anxiety and the concern that they are very dangerous and could lead to devastating outcomes. Anxiety symptoms may include a racing heart, arrhythmia, palpitations, chest pressure, skipped beats, difficulty breathing, throat pressure or a lump in the throat, nausea, digestive discomfort, tingling sensations, muscle tension, light headedness or dizziness and dissociation experiences like derealization/depersonalization.
At a basic level…anxiety sensitivity is a fear anxiety or a fear of fear.
Having Anxiety sensitivity puts you at risk for developing an anxiety disorder like panic disorder, agoraphobia, ptsd, somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder or health anxiety. People often interpret the intensity of their sensations as something catastrophic, like they might be having a heart attack, a stroke, maybe they are going insane or crazy or they might fear being socially humiliated or embarrassed or any number of other catastrophic events.
People WITHOUT high anxiety sensitivity accept those sensations as anxiety based and do not become overly attentive to those symptoms. They do not associate those symptoms with danger, fear, embarrassment, or a warning sign that something catastrophic might be occurring.
People with high anxiety sensitivity not only fear those symptoms, but they also begin to react to their symptoms and bodily sensations by doing certain behaviors to prevent or avoid those symptoms.
If this relates to you, you may be avoiding exercise or going certain places where you might feel anxious or panic. You might have safety behaviors like having someone with you, having medication or water or snacks with you, staying within a proximity to a hospital, or you might perform certain rituals or compulsions to calm yourself down. You might breathe a certain way, check your pulse, take your blood pressure, call your doctors, or google symptoms looking for reassurance.
All those reactionary or preventative behaviors only reinforce or strengthen your anxiety and feed the anxiety cycle that causes suffering.
