Bye Bye Panic

How to FINALLY Fix Your Nervous System - And Bring Your Life Back

If you’re trying to fix your nervous system, it probably feels like something went wrong inside your body. Like it changed, broke, or stopped working the way it used to. The problem is, it was never broken. A sensitized nervous system isn’t damaged. It’s a system that learned to protect you after too much stress. Panic, anxiety, and strange sensations are signs your body is stuck in protection mode and still waiting for proof that it’s safe. In this episode, I explain why recovery comes from understanding what’s happening and changing how you respond to it.  I talk about: * 00:00 - why your nervous system stays on high alert  * 01:51 - how calling yourself broken keeps the alarm turned on * 05:10 - how understanding what’s happening conveys safety and reduces fear  * 11:30 - why living life with sensations teaches the body it’s safe again * 15:36 - what actually allows the nervous system to settle on its own Tune in to understand why fixing isn’t what heals the nervous system.

5 Signs Your Mind is Healing From Intrusive Thoughts

If intrusive thoughts are still showing up, it can feel like recovery isn’t working. In reality, that belief often keeps the cycle alive. You start scanning your mind all day, checking whether the thoughts are gone yet, then using the fact that they’re still there as proof you’re doing something wrong. Healing from intrusive thoughts doesn’t begin when the thoughts disappear. It begins when you stop treating them like warnings, problems or reflections of who you are. In this episode, I explain how to stop confusing healing with failure. Instead of asking, “Why are these thoughts still here?” I’ll show you how to recognize real change and why those shifts, which you might not notice at first, actually matter. You’ll learn: * the five signs that show healing is happening * how intrusive thoughts lose power before they disappear * why response time matters more than thought presence If you want a clearer way to tell you’re moving forward, this episode will show you what to look for. Tune in. Key Takeaways: * Intro (00:00) * Shift from "what if" to "even if" (00:47) * Rumination reinforces the intrusive loop (03:00) * You are not your thoughts (06:01) * Emotional reactions fade faster (08:19) * Response matters more than thoughts (09:24) * Your mind is powerful, not broken (10:36) Additional Resources: ➡️ To accelerate your recovery journey, book a call to see if the mentorship with Shaan's team will help your specific situation [https://byebyepanic.lpages.co/permanentrecoveryvideo/?utm_campaign=121&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]  ➡️ Get access to the Desensitization Blueprint [https://www.byebyepanic.com/?utm_campaign=121&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]   ➡️ FREE E-BOOK [https://www.byebyepanic.com/optin-v21740104216015?utm_campaign=121&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]   --- Follow me on social media:  🔹 Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/shaan_kassam]  🔹 Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/byebyepanic/]  🔹 LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaankassam/]

PA's Full Recovery From Daily Panic Attacks and DPDR

Anxiety symptoms made PA feel like his own body had turned against him. DPDR that made the world feel unreal. Panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, digestive issues, rapid weight loss, constant fear, and the inability to be alone for even an hour. It became a full-body collapse that lasted for months. Before anxiety hit, PA was disciplined and used to pushing through discomfort. With a military background and years of training behind him, he responded the same way when anxiety symptoms appeared.  He trained harder, added supplements, tried medications, cold exposure, you name it… But none of it worked, and the harder he fought, the worse the anxiety became. In this conversation with BBP mentor Shiv, PA talks about: * how to stop feeding fear without trying to force yourself to be calm * what actually shifts when you stop fighting symptoms * how to build confidence that doesn’t fall apart under pressure Recovery is possible, and PA is living proof of that. Tune in. Key Takeaways: * Intro (00:00) * PA’s background and early anxiety cycles (01:17) * Worst symptoms and constant DPDR (05:29) * Impact on work and family life (08:43) * Surface confidence vs. core confidence (10:23) * What finally started real recovery (22:51) * Message of hope for the lowest moments (39:38) Additional Resources: ➡️ To accelerate your recovery journey, book a call to see if the mentorship with Shaan's team will help your specific situation [https://byebyepanic.lpages.co/permanentrecoveryvideo/?utm_campaign=120&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]  ➡️ Get access to the Desensitization Blueprint [https://www.byebyepanic.com/?utm_campaign=120&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]   ➡️ FREE E-BOOK [https://www.byebyepanic.com/optin-v21740104216015?utm_campaign=120&utm_medium=audio&utm_source=podcast]   --- Follow me on social media:  🔹 Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/shaan_kassam]  🔹 Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/byebyepanic/]  🔹 LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaankassam/]

5 Signs You’re Healing From Anxiety - Even If It Still Feels Bad

Healing from anxiety doesn’t move in a straight line. Often, anxiety symptoms spike even when you stop fighting them. That doesn’t mean something is wrong.

Stronger emotions and a sense of disorientation can show up right when real change is happening. In this episode, I explain why discomfort can be a sign of progress and how to tell the difference between regression and recovery. You’ll hear: * why anxiety gets worse during real recovery * what the signs of anxiety recovery actually look like * how living again recalibrates the nervous system Tune in to get a clear picture of why healing from anxiety still feels hard and what’s actually changing beneath the surface.
