Quote:

It takes time for a body to establish acceptance and for this to bring peace, just as it takes time for fear to be established as continuous tension and anxiety. This is why letting time pass, the last of my four concepts, is so important in treatment.

Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into Claire Weeks' method of dealing with anxiety, specifically focusing on the concept of letting time pass. This approach emphasizes recognizing anxiety symptoms as a normal response rather than a sign of something being wrong. By acknowledging the body's natural fight or flight response to stress and reassuring oneself that these sensations are not harmful, individuals can begin to reframe their thoughts and reduce the intensity of anxious feelings.

I highlight the importance of understanding the physiological aspects of anxiety and staying educated about what is happening in the body. By practicing self-compassion, acceptance, and patience, individuals can navigate through anxiety and gradually ease their way out of it. I stress the significance of setting realistic expectations and reminding oneself that immediate relief is not always possible.

Moreover, I discuss the value of mindfulness techniques, guided meditations, and self-care activities in staying centered and grounded during anxious moments. I encourage listeners to observe their anxiety without judgment, acknowledge their feelings without resistance, and trust the healing process. By gradually exposing oneself to triggers without reacting with fear, individuals can desensitize their nervous system and build confidence in managing their anxiety effectively.

Additionally, I suggest using positive affirmations, tracking progress in a journal, and celebrating small achievements along the way. By following Claire Weeks' method and allowing time for the body and mind to heal naturally, listeners can strive towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
