HEALTH ANXIETY
- Techniques to cope with health anxiety and hypochondria
- 6 parts, self-paced
- For mobile, tablet or computer
- Developed by psychologists
Some anxiety about our own health is normal, but excessive health anxiety (or hypochondria) can lead to unbearable problems. This tool will help persons with excessive health anxiety to overcome their problems. Humans have many emotions, and most of them are signals and warning lights, that is, they are meant to protect us from dangers and accidents, and to help us if disasters occur. Anxiety is one of our emotions, and the anxiety response is often a friend in need. We couldn't do without it. But, it can be exaggerated until it becomes an enemy. It creates an invisible prison for the individual. In this tool, the user will have room to reflect on their own health and anxiety, and techniques and tasks that can reduce anxiety.
The tool was created by Ingvard Wilhelmsen, the doctor behind the hypochondriac clinic in Bergen, Norway.
