Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the concepts of "floating" versus "letting time pass," clarifying often-confused terms that are crucial in the journey towards managing anxiety. Rooted in the teachings of Claire Weeks, these phrases can transform how individuals experience anxiety when they understand their distinct yet connected roles in recovery.


I begin by addressing the overwhelming sensation of anxiety that many face—feeling ensnared in a relentless cycle that seems to trap us in a state of panic. When you hear someone suggest to simply "float" or "let time pass," you might find yourself pondering the difference. This episode seeks to dissect those feelings, revealing that while both concepts aim to ease anxiety, they serve different functions in the healing process. Understanding this can help alleviate confusion and make anxiety more manageable.


I explore the process of "floating" in immediate moments of distress, urging listeners to visualize themselves effortlessly lying on water. This imagery embodies a non-resistant approach to anxiety, where rather than fighting the sensations, one learns to accept and move with them. I share a practical micro exercise: when feelings of anxiety arise, instead of resisting, simply acknowledge it, allowing oneself to float through the discomfort. This is not an act of passivity; it is an intentional choice to soften and embrace the experience rather than succumbing to panic.
