Is This Course For You?
This program will help with;
- The "Checking" Cycle: You spend hours checking your body for sensations, heart rate, or skin changes.
- The Reassurance Trap: You find yourself trapped on "Dr. Google" or frequently seeking reassurance from doctors and loved ones, only for the fear to return hours later.
- Hyper-Vigilance: You feel "on guard" at all times, misinterpreting normal bodily functions (like a twitch or a headache) as signs of a catastrophe.
- Avoidance: You have started avoiding exercise, certain foods, or even medical appointments because the fear of "finding something" is too great.
Dr Elaine Ryan - How this course works
I am a psychologist with over 20 years of experience specializing exclusively in Anxiety Disorders and OCD. This course is not a collection of "stress-relief tips." It is the clinical translation of two decades of research and thousands of hours spent in one-to-one therapy sessions.
I have designed this curriculum to follow the format of sessions with myself. It is really important to me that my courses are useful to you. I collect feedback on all my courses to allow me to see what works and what doesn't, and you can view the current feedback for this health anxiety course here.
If for any reason you do not find this course useful, it comes with a 10 day no questions asked money back guarantee.

The Methodology
Through my research and 20 years of practice, I’ve found that Health Anxiety isn't just about "worry." It functions almost exactly like OCD.
When you have a "what if" thought about your health, it triggers a compulsion—the urge to check, scan, or search for answers. If you only treat the worry but ignore the compulsion, the anxiety will always come back.
This course uses a Dual-Model Approach:
- Specialized Anxiety Protocols: To deconstruct the physical sensations in your body.
- OCD-Informed Tools: To break the "compulsive" cycle of checking and searching so your brain can finally "reset."
How this works
This is a structured, session-by-session digital program designed by myself to replicate sessions with myself..
- Step 1: We start with psychoeducation. You’ll learn the science of why your brain is misinterpreting symptoms and how we will rewire that response.
- Step 2: Breaking the Compulsion: I will guide you through the exact tools I use to help clients stop the "urge to check" without feeling overwhelmed.
- Step 3: Real-World Recovery: We move into "Behavioural Experiments"—manageable, step-by-step actions that prove to your brain that you are safe in your body. These are the same I use in session and everything you need is in this course.
