After seeing several therapists over the years I can't say enough great things about Ken Goodman and the health anxiety class that he offers. I have suffered with anxiety since I was a child and have had emetophobia (fear of vomiting), germaphobia and health anxiety. I can finally say I am anxiety free with Ken's help along with the support of the other members in my group! Ken has a tremendous amount of patience, he explains different theories and tools so you understand and can remember in times of panic attacks or severe anxiety when it's extremely difficult to grasp anything.

In the group sessions he gave us all helpful exercises you can practice in your own time and allows you the freedom to master the skills he gives you. It's totally up to you how much you want to heal and how much work you want to put in, but if you really want to get rid of your anxiety all of his tools work very well! It is extremely helpful being in a group setting with other people who are going through and can understand/relate to your situation!

If you need help conquering health anxiety, I highly recommend Ken Goodman's class.

Imagine seeing various doctors for a host of symptoms that most certainly meant I had a dire health condition: A slight swelling at my jaw most certainly was a brain tumor, mild tingling meant I had muscular sclerosis, itchy skin meant I had a serious liver condition, etc. For 30+ years, I suffered like this and found it getting worse to the point it was dominating my life. Out of desperation I googled "hypochondria" and stumbled onto Ken's YouTube video in which he talked about health anxiety, a term I'd never heard before. It was like a light bulb went off and I immediately signed up for his health anxiety zoom class and enjoyed it so much.

Ken has an incredible amount of knowledge on this and with his low key, easy going personality and dry humor, and the support of my fellow classmates, he made the class a safe place to practice techniques and understand how to be in charge whenever the health anxiety resurfaced.

It's been over a year and I've gone from daily panic attacks about my health to virtually zero because I've retrained myself to challenge and react differently which has calmed my brain and nervous system down. I spent all those years on therapy and money when I should've just worked with Ken. Thanks so much Ken for changing my life!

I was googling health anxiety and came across Ken’s class. The fact that it was virtual was a huge plus, since I live across the country. I wasn’t sure what to expect, unsure if this would be money well spent, but I am ecstatic to say that it was 100% worth it.

There were so many great things about Ken’s class. For one, Ken is extremely kind and very patient, as were all of my classmates. When I spoke about my fears in Ken’s class, he and my fellow classmates all shook their heads and said "yep, been there before!" They understood me. Ken taught actual ways to combat my fears and deal with my physical sensations, and each little suggestion added up to big changes. 

When I first reached out to Ken, I was in the darkest season of my life. I was crippled by health anxiety, filling my time with doctors appointments, bottomless google searches, and debilitating thoughts that kept me in a vicious cycle. I was having multiple panic attacks and hundreds of heart palpitations a day, and my regular therapist could only suggest medication, which I had a deep fear of. Thankfully, I found Ken. After completing my first round of health anxiety group therapy with Ken, I was starting to feel like my old self again. I couldn’t believe it! I decided to complete a second round and am so glad that I did because it really solidified all the progress that I had made.

Thanks to Ken, I have my life back. I have so many tools in my toolbox to fight my health anxiety. It doesn’t own me anymore. I am mentally stronger than I’ve ever been and I owe it all to Ken. His deep knowledge on this specific type of anxiety made me feel very comfortable and confident in the work.

Ken created a safe space that made me look forward to every session. Health anxiety therapy was the best gift I’ve ever given myself.

Ken's health anxiety class literally changed my life. I had been fighting health anxiety for over 15 years and tried various approaches to managing it, and nothing had worked previously. It was nice to be in a small group of people who were going through the same thing as me, with a safe space to discuss what was going on.

After using the techniques for a few weeks I noticed a huge difference which I've now managed to carry on successfully for a couple of years following the class. My health anxiety is not gone entirely (and I'm sure it never will be) but it happens much less often, is much less severe when it happens and I have a toolbox to help resolve it quickly when it occurs.

I have been dealing with health anxiety for many years. One day I was searching online about it and I came across one of Ken Goodman's Health Anxiety Webinars. I listened to two of them and was so impressed I decided to contact Ken by email (I have never done this before). Ken replied within a day! I signed up for his online health anxiety class and it has helped so much. It has been 2 years and I am still in contact with Ken and his group class members. Ken’s classes have been amazingly helpful to me. He is so easy to talk to and he treats you like a friend from the first time you meet him. He genuinely cares about each of the people he treats. His classes are easy to understand and apply self-help strategies. Meeting Ken and joining his health anxiety classes has turned my life around. Ken has helped me personally in both group and individual counseling and I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is struggling with health anxiety!

I battled severe anxiety for months, leading up to a week of relentless panic attacks I couldn’t control. Since joining Ken’s group therapy 11 months ago, I haven't experienced a single panic attack. Thanks to Ken, I now have the tools to manage my anxiety before it escalates. I feel a renewed sense of control and hope, knowing that I am equipped to handle challenges.
