Quote:

It is not easy to face, accept and let time pass. 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

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.
