Long SummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the teachings of Dr. Claire Weeks and her compassionate approach to healing anxiety. I share my own personal journey with Weeks' work, highlighting how it has influenced me and my approach to helping others with anxiety. Weeks believed in the importance of understanding and accepting anxiety symptoms, rather than fighting against or avoiding them. She emphasized the need to educate oneself about anxiety, recognizing the physical manifestations, and understanding that they are not harmful. This approach, often referred to as the self-help or acceptance-based approach, involves facing the fear, accepting and floating through anxious sensations, allowing time to pass, and gradually rebuilding one's life. By applying Weeks' principles or seeking professional help, individuals can effectively manage anxiety and panic, leading to improved mental health and overall well-being. Together, let's explore her teachings and empower ourselves to find peace amidst anxiety.
