EP 25 - Stop Googling Your Symptoms

If you find yourself in an endless cycle of searching for answers online or going onto Reddit forums, only to end up feeling even more anxious, confused, and overwhelmed - then this episode is for you.

In this episode I talk about:

  • The reasons why you feel more anxious after you Google
  • The importance of changing your mindset and mentality in order to feel empowered to let go of this habit for good
  • Practical strategies to stop googling your symptoms
