Podcast description:
Most people think anxiety is only about fear, but the truth is, anxiety is fueled by tension. Mental tension, emotional tension, physical tension, and even spiritual tension all keep your nervous system stuck in survival mode, firing off false alarms and keeping you on edge.
In this episode of The Anxiety Guy Podcast, Dennis Simsek takes a deep dive into why tension is the biggest hidden culprit behind anxiety and how to finally let it go. You’ll discover:
-
Why your body holds onto hidden tension even when you “feel calm”
-
How mental tension (racing thoughts, overthinking, perfectionism) drains the brain and fuels anxiety
-
The science of emotional suppression and why unprocessed feelings keep you stuck
-
Physical signs of tension, jaw clenching, shallow breathing, tight chest and how to release them
-
The overlooked role of spiritual tension and how disconnection from meaning keeps your nervous system on high alert
-
Practical, science-backed strategies to release tension mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually so you can retrain your body and mind for safety
If you’ve ever wondered why relaxation feels impossible or why symptoms keep coming back, this episode will help you connect the dots and give you a clear roadmap for healing.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
