1021: Floating Part 2: How to Float Through Anxiety The Claire Weekes Way

[@rfiafia]

I enjoyed your podcast and listened while encouraging myself to drive on the interstate, which is my trigger. Every few years when something happens I get retriggered. I read the Claire Weekes books decades ago and it really saved me. I reread them recently but you have a nice take on the float. I didn't learn how to float in the water until my late twenties. I really worked on relaxing my body while driving. I also like how in your other podcast you say you're not going to go crazy which is an irrational fear I have. Thanks for your encouragement!

So do we just go about our day as best we can full of anxiety? My issue is the fear of the anxiety, mainly its physical sensations. I know we must not fear it and not add that 2nd fear.

[@anxietycoachespodcast]

Yes, go about your day as long as you are also taking good care of yourself along the way. Getting rest and nutrition and hydrated and taking time to let your nervous system feel safe. Finding ways to feel safe and relaxed.

The purpose of this isnto not sensitizenit more? And it recovers as we rest/sleep etc?​@@anxietycoachespodcast

So do you think Dr. Sarno and Claire Weeks can help people whose nervous system is dysregulated due to tapering off prescribed benzodiazapine? The anxiety is all day long regardless of outside circumstances. It’s due to the withdrawal and too much glutamate and downloaded GABA receptors. Outside triggers simply make the anxiety feel like someone has a gun at my head!

[@anxietycoachespodcast]

I hear you! I have not seen any mention of specifics to tapering off any prescription in either Weekes' or Sarno's work. I do know that keeping your NS as calm as possible will keep you from adding more stress to your your already dysregulated system. Check out "Mad In America" and for wonderful resources on tapering and psychopharmacology. And Dr Peter Breggin's book: "sychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients and their Families." 🙏🏻

Set yourself up to do it safely, call a nurse. Get info from a reliable sources like Mayo clinic. What do you need? Now,,Just get settled in and detox. It’s awful and scary.

What if the trigger is something physical like chronic pain so the trigger is always there causing anxiety. Is Claire Weekes method the best approach to desensitize from the chronic pain?

[@anxietycoachespodcast]

Dr John Sarno was a back surgeon who did a lot of wonderful work with people with chronic pain without surgery, around repressed emotions and TMS! I have a few old episodes about his work: 266: The Mindbody Syndrome With Steve Ozanich (speaks of dr sarno's work) 411: Releasing repressed Emotions for TMS and Anxiety I hope that's helpful!

[@Tigerwolf291]

@@anxietycoachespodcast Thank you. I’ve cured back pain from years past thanks to Sarno so familiar with his work and will have to revisit.

Claire’s book is good, titled- self help for your nerves

[@anxietycoachespodcast]

My favorite from Dr Weekes is "Hope and Help For Your Nerves". ❤️
