Dr Josh Spitalnick: Health Anxiety, and living life well (#478)

In episode 478 I chat with Dr Josh Spitalnick. Josh is a licensed psychologist, owner and clinical director at the Anxiety Specialists of Atlanta, an outpatient clinic. He is co-author of “The Complete Guide to Overcoming Health Anxiety”.

We discuss what’s new with him, his book, the title of the book, this idea of mental health - health anxiety, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), living life regardless of fears, social media’s impact on health anxiety, the different variations of health anxiety, therapy for health anxiety, and much more. Hope it helps.
