Summary

In today’s episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into a question that many individuals grappling with anxiety often ask: “Am I going crazy?” This inquiry is not just an expression of fear; it reflects a deeper, shared human experience that arises when we find ourselves overwhelmed and seeking relief from the tumult of anxiety and panic. I want to reassure those who have found themselves whispering or even shouting this question during moments of distress that you are not alone. The frequency with which I encounter this question—whether in coaching sessions, online forums, or spontaneous conversations—underscores its universal nature.

I share from personal experience the debilitating sensations that accompany heightened anxiety, where the mind races with worst-case scenarios and the body feels out of control. It’s in these intense moments that individuals may convince themselves they are losing their grip on reality. However, I firmly emphasize that these overwhelming sensations are not indicators of madness, but rather physiological responses to Stress. By examining the science behind panic and anxiety, I aim to ground listeners in awareness of their bodily reactions.
