EP 0085 - Heart Anxiety Issues and Interoceptive Exposure
If you are a regular listener of the podcast, odds are that you've had anxiety, worry and fear focused on your heart at least once or twice. This is quite common. Heart-centered anxiety generally involves being afraid of a rapid, strong, or irregular (flutters/palpitations) heartbeat. This is either due to an underlying fear that something is wrong with your heart or will go wrong, or due to the link between a rapid/strong heartbeat and a panic attack. In either case, the way out, as always, is through. We can use interoceptive exposure techniques to intentionally create the rapid or strong heartbeat we fear in order to desensitize and learn that there is no reason to fear your heartbeat. Yes, this involves intentionally experiencing that which you fear, but this is almost always the case when solving these problems.
