Have you ever heard the advice to just drop it or let it go?

I’ve talked about Dr Claire Weekes before. She was an important pioneering doctor in the field of anxiety recovery.

She said anyone could recover from disordered anxiety, excessive nervousness or panic attacks with four simple (but not always easy steps): Face, accept, float and let time pass.

It’s clear to me that these are the for anti-stress responses to flight fight freeze and fawn.

She described it in many ways such as mastering inactivity (doing nothing about the anxiety): not analyzing, not trying to avoid or remove it, but instead going with it by floating along above it.

Others define the concept of floating as letting go, surrendering, tolerance, melting.

What I want you to understand is not only what floating is, but also why it help ...
