If you've been stuck in the loop of symptom monitoring, fear, and constant worry about your body, this episode is your invitation to heal through The Middle Way, a gentler, more sustainable approach to recovery.

This episode is especially supportive for those dealing with health anxiety, where every sensation can feel like a crisis. Through honest storytelling and practical tools, Dennis helps you break the cycle of fear, reconnect with your nervous system, and find peace without needing to be symptom-free.

Tune in now, and begin healing from anxiety one grounded moment at a time.

Grief around our children’s disabilities can take many forms. Some of us are grieving the life we thought we’d have with our child that looks so very different now. Others of us are grieving the very real possibility of losing them too soon.In this episode, therapist and fellow disability parent Amanda Griffith-Atkins joins me to talk about the complicated grief that comes with raising a disabled or medically complex child.We explore how this grief can morph and change, how it shows up in the quiet, ordinary moments, and how deeply human it is to wish things were easier —not because our children aren’t loved, but because they so deeply are.

In this episode, I dive into the tangled world of health anxiety, especially when it comes to my daughter's well-being—how every cough, every fever, every tiny worry spirals into something bigger in my head. Then, I get into something I've been thinking about a lot: why people don't seem to drink as much anymore. Is it the financial strain? The lack of spaces in Dublin that feel welcoming? Or just a shift in priorities? I break it down. I also open up about the nostalgia prison I've locked myself in since my sister moved away. Growing up together was a privilege, but now, I'm stuck between cherishing our memories and mourning the inevitable—watching the person I grew up with build a life that doesn't revolve around our shared childhood anymore. And finally, I wrap up with a conversation about FOMO—how it creeps in, how to manage it, and why it's okay to not always be where the action is. A mix of reflection, overthinking, and maybe a little too much sentimentality, hope you enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all know that feeling, right? The build-up before a doctor's appointment or a medical test can feel like it...

In this episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora speaks with Brian Sachetta, author of Get Out of Your Head, about practical strategies for managing anxiety and depression. Brian shares insights from his personal experience and research, offering a structured approach to improving mental health. In this episode, you'll discover: Understanding Anxiety: What anxiety is and how it manifests in the body and mind. Breaking the Cycle of Fear: How anxiety feeds itself and ways to disrupt the loop. Depression and Learned Helplessness: The role of hopelessness and how to build a path forward. The Biopsychosocial Model: How mental health is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Exercise, Nutrition, and Sleep: Their role in supporting mental wellness and reducing anxiety. Memorable Quotes “If you actually give yourself just a few seconds, even that literal pause, you can calm yourself down, be emotionally centered, and stop choosing quick solutions or reacting.” “When you don't feel well physically, you have to dedicate energy and resources—physical and mental—to dealing with the symptoms. That means you're not as equipped to fight negative thoughts.” “Mental health challenges don't mean you're powerless. It means you need the right tools to manage and thrive.” Bio Brian Sachetta is an author, blogger, and software developer from Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from Boston College with a degree in management and computer science. His book series, Get Out of Your Head, draws parallels between computer systems and the human mind to provide readers with practical strategies for overcoming anxiety and depression. Brian is passionate about using his skills to positively impact others in the areas of health, wellness, and personal development.
