EP 0104 - Health Anxiety and Uncertainty With Dr. Ingvard Wilhemsen

Send in a question or comment via text. Today I was fortunate to have spent 25 minutes on a Zoom call with Dr. Ingvard Wilhemsen, a respected expert in the field of health anxiety and hypochondriasis from the University of Bergen in Norway. We discussed the basis of health anxiety, what drives it, the underlying principles of uncertainty and safety, and some of the effective methods he uses when treating patients with health anxiety. Dr Willhemsen has been kind enough to offer to do a follow-up episode with us, so if you have questions or comments, please follow the links to any of my social media channels. Feel free to reach out with whatever questions you might have and I'll do my best to get them answered in a coming episode.
