In today's episode, Gina discusses the overall process of getting

beyond anxiety.  Fundamental to this discussion is the distinction

between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.  All the tools

we study through ACP are here to help us restore our ability to return

to our parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system.  Listen in for

advice on integrating all the tools with the overall goal of living

beyond anxiety.

Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve deep into the journey of overcoming anxiety, emphasizing the fundamental need to move beyond managing symptoms to genuinely surpassing them. Inspired by Viktor Frankl’s quote, I highlight the crucial space between stimulus and response, where our freedom and power reside. It is imperative to understand that this space is not merely a pause but a pivotal moment for growth and happiness, especially when navigating the tumultuous waters of anxiety, panic, and PTSD.

I discuss the significant difference between managing anxiety—through tips, tricks, and props that only keep it at bay—and the transformative process of moving beyond it entirely. While coping mechanisms are necessary to help us navigate daily challenges, they should never become a crutch that defines our existence. We often utilize these techniques to alleviate acute anxiety, allowing us to momentarily calm the storm and gain a broader perspective on our experiences. This episode challenges you to recognize that accepting and surrendering to your feelings, as daunting as they may seem, is a crucial step towards genuine relief.

Accepting anxiety is not the same as embracing it; it is about understanding that real change must come from within. I stress the importance of taking personal accountability in this journey, shifting away from the desire for external solutions, and recognizing the internal nature of this transformation.
