Health Anxiety Workbook | CBT Worksheets & Coping Skills for Illness Anxiety
The Health Anxiety Workbook is a practical, supportive resource designed to help teenagers and adults understand health anxiety and explore the patterns that can keep health-related worries going.
This 13-page resource explores the cycle of health anxiety, including noticing physical sensations, interpreting them as signs of illness, checking for symptoms, seeking reassurance and experiencing further anxiety. Through guided reflection and structured exercises, users can develop greater awareness of these patterns and explore alternative ways of responding to health-related worries and uncertainty.
