The moment you stop fearing, you start healing. -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:26 Introduction to Healing Anxiety 2:09 Settling Into the Conversation 3:21 Bridging Two Perspectives 9:36 Understanding Polyvagal Theory 15:03 Integrating Claire Weeks and Polyvagal Insights 16:33 Embracing a New Approach to Anxiety 17:15 Closing Thoughts and Invitation Summary In this episode, I delve into the intersection of two profound frameworks for understanding anxiety: the teachings of Dr. Claire Weeks and the polyvagal theory developed by Dr. Stephen Porges. I aim to illuminate how these two perspectives can complement and enhance our relationship with anxiety, focusing not on eradicating it, but on understanding and working with it in a compassionate manner. We begin by grounding ourselves in the essence of Dr. Claire Weeks' wisdom. Weeks was a trailblazer in the treatment of anxiety, offering a message that resonated deeply with those struggling with panic and fear. Her approach emphasizes that anxiety is not a pathology but rather a natural response, and she passionately reinforced the idea that recovery is achievable. Her method, encapsulated in four critical steps—facing, accepting, floating through, and allowing time to heal—provides a gentle yet powerful framework for engaging with anxiety. I explore each of these steps, illustrating how facing the fear can diminish its hold on us, accepting our current feelings can foster healing, and floating through the sensations can transform our experience from one of resistance to one of ease. Having established the foundations laid down by Weeks, I then transition to the polyvagal theory, a scientific framework that elucidates how our nervous system responds to cues of safety and threat. #Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #PanicAttack #PolyvagalTheory #ClaireWeeks #NervousSystem #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #HealingJourney #MindBody #Neuroscience #SelfCare #Resilience #TraumaInformed (given the discussion of nervous system states) #Acceptance #FacingFear #LettingGo #TimeHeals #SafetySignals #ConnectionMatters #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan Learn more about your ad choices.

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. -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:23 Introduction to Letting Time Pass 2:32 Understanding Anxiety Reactions 4:06 Patience in Letting Time Pass 10:08 Realistic Expectations in Healing 13:19 Breaking the Cycle of Fear 16:54 Facing Triggers Gradually 17:59 Trusting the Healing Process 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. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is especially difficult to let time pass, because you may already have let so much time pass in suffering and despair that asking you to let more time pass may seem an impossible demand. It is difficult but necessary. -Dr Claire Weekes Chapters 0:23 Introduction 3:52 Allowing Time for Healing 7:44 Trusting the Process 12:45 Managing Expectations 15:53 Building Confidence 19:06 Conclusion Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, Gina Ryan discusses the concept of "Let Time Pass" as part of Dr. Claire Weeks' approach to overcoming anxiety. Gina explains that anxiety sufferers often struggle with the idea of waiting and allowing time to heal, as anxiety is characterized by a sense of urgency and discomfort. Dr. Weeks emphasized the importance of understanding that anxiety symptoms, while distressing, are not dangerous and are the body's natural response to perceived threats. Gina delves into the idea of acceptance and not adding additional fear or resistance to anxiety symptoms. By allowing time to pass without fighting or escaping from anxiety, individuals can break the cycle of fear and gradually return to a state of calm. She highlights the significance of trusting the healing process and being patient with oneself, as recovery from anxiety is a gradual journey that requires consistent practice. Moreover, Gina touches on the mindfulness practices that encourage individuals to observe their feelings and bodily sensations without trying to change or avoid them. She emphasizes that immediate relief from anxiety is unrealistic and that lasting improvement comes from consistent application of acceptance and understanding over time. By repeatedly facing and accepting anxiety without adding fear, individuals can build confidence in their ability to handle it and ultimately reduce anxiety's power over them. Gina concludes by reiterating Dr. Weeks' message of having faith in the body and mind's capacity to heal and achieve lasting relief from anxiety. She encourages listeners to implement the principles of facing, accepting, floating, and letting time pass in their daily lives, reinforcing the commitment to the recovery process. In the next episode, Gina will delve into practical strategies on how to integrate letting time pass into one's life. Learn more about your ad choices.

She encourages listeners to cultivate a sense of acceptance, allow anxious thoughts to pass, and observe sensations with detached curiosity. Patience, self-compassion, and desensitization are key components in overcoming anxiety gradually. By educating oneself about anxiety, practicing mindfulness techniques, and letting time pass, individuals can learn to float through anxiety rather than fight against it. The episode wraps up with a quote from Claire Weeks and a reminder to face, accept, float, and let time pass in the journey to managing anxiety. Learn more about your ad choices.

Try to float gently over the feeling, never fighting it, never trying to crowd it out of your mind. -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:23 Introduction 5:58 Understanding Floating Through Anxiety 10:46 Benefits of Practicing Floating 14:38 Desensitization through Floating 16:43 Avoiding Adding Fuel to the Fire 18:01 Closing Thoughts Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, Gina Ryan delves into Claire Weeks' philosophy of floating through anxiety, emphasizing the importance of being aware but unafraid. Weeks believed that anxiety and panic attacks stemmed from a fear of the symptoms and sensations themselves, rather than any external threat, which she termed as "second fear." By practicing floating through anxiety, individuals are encouraged to accept and embrace anxious sensations without resistance, allowing them to gradually desensitize themselves to the experience of anxiety. Ryan explains that floating involves moving through anxious sensations without tense resistance, akin to floating on undulating water. By adopting a stance of non-resistance and observing anxious feelings without judgment, individuals can signal to their mind and body that there is nothing to fear, laying the foundation for peace and calm as a new default response. Floating teaches individuals to separate themselves from anxious thoughts, preventing them from adding more stress to the situation and ultimately contributing to desensitization. The benefits of practicing floating extend beyond navigating individual anxious experiences with less struggle, as each instance sends a message to the mind and body that it is safe to relax in such situations. By letting go of the need to control or analyze anxious feelings, individuals can cultivate a sense of safety and security within themselves. Ryan stresses the importance of gradually and repetitively practicing floating to rewire the mind and body's response to anxiety, ultimately teaching individuals that they are okay and do not need to engage in fight or flight responses to imagined threats.

WHAT RECOVERY LENS ARE YOU LOOKING THROUGH? This week Drew and Josh take a bit of an unexpected turn to explore ways that CBT and exposure-based approaches to recovery can fall short. Recovery can't always be about facing, accepting, exposures, and Claire Weekes. While we might not look to other models to unearth deeply hidden root causes for an anxiety disorder, other theoretical frameworks can be quite useful - or even necessary - to conceptualize why one might encounter obstacles in the recovery process itself. In this episode, the guys so a little Transactional Analysis role play, drag the venerable Carl Rogers into the recovery forum, and generally provide different ways of looking at how you see yourself and what recovery lenses you might be looking through. ---- Struggling with worry and rumination that you feel you can't stop or control? Check out Worry and Rumination Explained, a two hour pre-recorded workshop produced by Josh and Drew.

"Is it normal for my symptoms, or thoughts, or my anxiety to get worse when I start engaging in recovery?" Even Dr. Claire Weekes acknowledged this experience when writing about recovery many years ago. This week on Disordered we're talking about feeling MORE when you stop hiding from anxiety. This is often misinterpreted as "getting worse" but feeling more doesn't mean your anxiety, your symptoms, or your thoughts are getting worse. It's OK to feel things. The recovery process is about learning how to get better at feeling things. You can feel all the things and still be safe. xx --- Want to pre-order Josh's book, “And How Does That Make You Feel?” https://geni.us/JoshFletcher ---- If you love Disordered and think you might benefit from spending 30 full days in an everyday intensive small group recovery support group led by Josh and Drew, check out Disordered Boost at https://disordered.fm/boost ----- Want to ask us questions, share your wins, or get more information about Josh, Drew, and the Disordered podcast?

Gina emphasizes that acceptance does not mean merely putting up with anxiety, but actively acknowledging and understanding it. She urges listeners to let go of the instinct to resist and instead adopt an attitude of acceptance. Gina encourages individuals to challenge their natural instincts to fight against anxiety and instead embrace a mindset of acceptance. She suggests relaxing into the feelings and letting go of the need to struggle against them, comparing it to floating in water rather than fighting against the current. Gina emphasizes the importance of giving up the need to control and fix things, as it may worsen anxiety. She reminds listeners that recovery is a gradual process that requires time and persistence, and that setbacks are a normal part of the journey. Gina concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace anxiety with calm acceptance and quotes Claire Weeks, stating that setbacks are part of recovery. Learn more about your ad choices.

Knowledge acts as a shield against anxiety and empowers individuals to take control of their symptoms.

I emphasize the importance of self-awareness in recognizing our specific anxiety triggers and avoiding behaviors that temporarily make us feel better but actually feed our anxiety in the long run. Moving forward, I introduce common triggers such as social situations, driving or traveling, health concerns, and workplace stress. These triggers are often encountered in the workplace, where we face various stressors like deadlines, presentations, performance evaluations, and interactions with others. Uncertainty about future outcomes can also be a major trigger for anxiety, as well as conflicts and confrontations. Furthermore, anxiety related to performance can hinder our ability to complete tasks or engage in activities. To address these triggers, it is essential to face our anxiety head-on. This involves identifying specific situations or stimuli that cause distress and creating a hierarchy based on their anxiety-inducing levels. Gradually exposing ourselves to these situations, starting with the least distressing, is crucial for building resilience. During exposure, we can manage anxiety through techniques like deep breathing, muscle relaxation, and positive self-talk. As we progress through difficult situations and build confidence, we desensitize ourselves to anxiety triggers over time. Celebrating each achievement reinforces the effectiveness of gradual exposure and boosts motivation to continue facing anxiety. However, it's important to note that this process takes time and requires faith and a positive mindset. By systematically facing our anxiety triggers through gradual exposure, we can build resilience and reduce avoidance behaviors that keep us stuck. This approach aligns with Claire Weeks's emphasis on acceptance and non-resistance, understanding that anxiety is a temporary state that can be effectively managed. Many of my clients gain confidence and strength from Claire Weeks's work and appreciate that I understand and apply it in our coaching sessions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Quote: Remember, you are not alone in your struggle. Others have faced anxiety and found their way through. You can too -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:00:24 Introduction to Claire Weeks' Facing Philosophy 0:01:23 Claire Weeks: A Pioneer in Anxiety Management 0:07:53 Introduction to the First Element: Facing Anxiety 0:15:02 Overcoming Fear and Facing Anxiety 0:16:09 Anxiety is Temporary and Manageable 0:17:06 Part Two: Practical Steps in Facing Anxiety Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the philosophy of Claire Weeks, a renowned Australian psychiatrist who revolutionized the field of anxiety management. Weeks developed four essential elements for effectively managing anxiety: facing, acceptance, floating, and letting time pass. Her practical and accessible approaches have resonated with individuals seeking tangible tools to overcome anxiety disorders. By emphasizing the role of the nervous system in anxiety development and perpetuation, Weeks empowers individuals to take an active role in their recovery through self-help techniques. Today, we focus on the first element of Weeks' philosophy: facing anxiety. Facing involves acknowledging and accepting anxious feelings rather than avoiding or suppressing them. By breaking the cycle of fear and avoidance, we can reduce anxiety's power and interrupt the pattern of escalating fear. Weeks believes in gradually exposing ourselves to anxiety triggers and becoming accustomed to them over time. Merely having knowledge of these concepts is not enough; we must actively work on facing anxiety, understanding that discomfort in itself is not dangerous. By adopting an attitude of acceptance and confronting our fears, we become empowered to manage and overcome anxiety. Weeks' philosophy highlights the temporary and manageable nature of anxiety, instilling confidence in individuals to navigate their journey towards recovery. Although initially met with skepticism from her colleagues, her ideas remain influential in the field of anxiety management. In our next episode, we will delve deeper into the practical steps of facing anxiety, providing a step-by-step approach for overcoming this challenging condition. Remember, you are not alone in this struggle, and with the right tools and mindset, you have the ability to conquer anxiety, just as countless others have done before you.

That Anxiety Guy - Straight Talk And Help With Anxiety, Panic and Agoraphobia
Do you need to find a therapist that knows and follows the "Claire Weekes method"?This week we unpack the impact of Dr. Claire Weekes, shedding light on her influential role in the therapy world, specifically in the realm of anxiety disorders. Dr. Weekes' groundbreaking principles of acceptance have proven to be timeless, remaining relevant in therapy practices today. We go beyond the surface, debunking myths about her work and examining the current relevance of her methods in therapy. It's a bonus if your therapist is familiar, but its definitely not a deal breaker if they aren't.Dr. Weekes' methods, although foundational, are not the be-all and end-all. We discuss how therapies like ACT or mindfulness-based CBT or metacognitive therapy have broadened and deepened the roots she established. Even if your therapist isn't familiar with Dr. Weekes, there's no cause for alarm - I promise it's not absolutely necessary.

In this episode I share how my clients' evocative metaphor work included imagery around floating and water which led me to remember the work of Dr. Claire Weekes and her book, Hope and Help for Your Nerves Hardcover – January 1, 1969.When we are using a mindbody approach to healing it can feel kind of exhausting to remember and use all these tools, and especially if we are in a panic to not feel uncomfortable stuff. So learning to surrender, to float, is a very powerful message to our nervous system that there is no THREAT. It's not the same kind of dorsal freeze of a small animal pretending to be dead, no, it's the conscious releasing of tension using visualization and self trust which evokes the felt sense of safety, of OKness. Here's some links to articles about her approach to anxiety - https://www.anxietycoach.com/claire-weekes.html https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Overcome_Anxiety_with_Dr._Claire_Weekes As you listen, remember it's not about knowing this stuff intellectually but being willing to play and practice these experiences in your body. Just like reading about weight lifting isn't the same as visualizing yourself lifting or actual weight lifting.

What happens if I decide that my lived experience and the fact that I read Claire Weekes means that I can go from social media psychoeducator to one-one-one or group recovery coach?I'll tell you what happens. I run a very high risk of treating you, guiding you, and advising you, as if you are just like me. That's just a function of how humans work. It doesn't make me a bad person. It just makes me untrained and inexperienced when it comes to providing actual face-to-face guidance or treatment. If I do not spend ten plus years actually listening to the experiences of others and interacting with them, then spend another 3+ years being formally trained and supervised by experienced clinicians, I run the risk of misapplying my experience, missing details that matter, ignoring complexity and nuance, and causing harm even when I have the best of intentions ...
