this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the
transformative journey of navigating fear and anxiety. My focus today is
on how to take tiny, manageable steps through our fears, allowing us to
turn anxiety into confidence. Recognizing how anxiety can often
introduce new fears in our lives, I discuss the common triggers that
many of us experience, whether it's the anxiety of flying, public
speaking, or even simply being in crowded spaces. These moments can
provoke an immediate physical response, leaving us feeling vulnerable
and uncomfortable.However, I propose a powerful reframe: these
fears, rather than being obstacles, can serve as gateways to deeper
confidence and inner peace. By gently facing and befriending our
triggers, we begin to cultivate a strength that can ultimately help us
tackle more profound anxieties, such as feelings of inadequacy or fear
of rejection. The essence of this process lies in taking those initial
small steps—steps that foster self-kindness and acknowledge the
importance of gentleness in our healing journey.I outline three
foundational steps to approach our fears, starting with creating
proximity without pressure. Using the example of a fear of flying, I
encourage listeners to take small, non-threatening actions, like just
driving to the airport or sitting in the parking lot observing planes.
This method emphasizes building a safe relationship with our fears,
recognizing them without judgment, and allowing ourselves the freedom to
retreat if needed. The next step involves gradually increasing our
exposure by taking more active roles in confronting our fears, ensuring
we're in a space where we can feel comfortable and safe while doing so.#anxiety

an intriguing concept: loving your inner lizard brain to foster more
peace and calm in your life. Understanding the lizard brain is crucial,
as it plays a significant role in the anxiety landscape. We explore its
origins and functions, emphasizing that this ancient part of our brain,
often referred to as the amygdala, is deeply intertwined with our
survival instincts. It's designed to protect us by triggering responses
to perceived danger, making it essential for our safety throughout
evolution.I take listeners through an understanding of how the
lizard brain operates, highlighting its responsibility for our primal
instincts—fear, hunger, and arousal. This instinctual focus on survival,
while necessary, often leads to anxiety when the amygdala becomes
overly reactive. Instead of viewing the lizard brain as an enemy in our
mental wellness journey, I advocate for a compassionate approach,
encouraging listeners to "pet the lizard" and reassure it that
everything is okay. By acknowledging and tending to this primal part of
our brain, we can better navigate our daily anxieties.#anxiety#lizardbrain#amygdala#ancientbrain#reptilianbrain#survivalinstincts#fear#stresshormones#calmingtechniques#selfsoothing#mindfulness#breathingexercises#bodyawareness#relaxation#innerchild#emotionalregulation#safety#presentmoment#overcominganxiety#anxietycoach#podcast#emotionalintelligence#selfawareness#nervoussystemregulation#traumainformed#stressmanagement#copingmechanisms#anxietyrelief#mentalwellness#psychologicalwellbeing#mindbodyconnection#innerpeace#resilience#emotionalhealth#brainscience#psychology#wellbeing#mentalhealth#GinaRyan#ACP#AnxietyCoachesPodcast

this episode, I delve into the crucial practice of feeling our feelings
and how this essential step can unlock healing from anxiety. Although
the phrase “feel your feelings” is often heard, I invite you to reflect
on whether you truly embrace the concept or if it creates resistance
within you. My goal today is to shed light on the unseen burdens we
carry, frequently without realizing it, and to emphasize that allowing
ourselves to process emotions isn't merely a tender topic—it's a key to
reclaiming our natural state of peace and calm.I discuss how
suppressing emotions leads to an internal buildup that affects both the
mind and body. Many of us navigate life, donning a smile and
white-knuckling through adversity, yet beneath the surface, we may feel
restless or anxious, often unable to pinpoint the cause. This
unprocessed emotional weight can sometimes manifest as various physical
symptoms—ranging from digestive issues to headaches. I stress the
importance of recognizing these signals, understanding that these
physical sensations can be the body's way of reaching out, signaling
that there are feelings that need to be felt and processed.Throughout
our conversation, we explore how emotions influence our physiology,
causing measurable changes in blood flow, hormonal levels, and even
muscle tension. I discuss the cyclical nature of anxiety and how
unacknowledged feelings can create a loop of discomfort and anxiety,
amplifying physical symptoms and leading to a cascade of avoidance
behaviors. As we unpack this cycle, I encourage a shift in
perspective—viewing anxiety not as an adversary but as a messenger
calling for our attention and understanding.#anxiety#emotionalhealing#feelingthefeelings#unprocessedemotions#mindbodyconnection#suppressedemotions#anxietyasmessenger#carljung#panicattack#overstimulation#nervoussystem#fightorflight#stressresponse#groundingtechniques#copingstrategies#mentalhealth#emotionalregulation#breathingexercises#presentmoment#selfcompassion#anxietycoachespodcast#ACP#GinaRyan
