Aloha!

Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm talking about time allowed for floating.

This again is another listener question that I want to answer.

I'm just going to jump right into the listener's question and then we're going to take it from there.

This is from Vicki and she says, thanks Gina for your uploads.

What an invaluable service you provide for what is sometimes a lonely disorder.

I have had anxiety all my life, mostly related to rejection and fear of.

I'm afraid I've done all the things that create oversensitization, especially running away and distraction.

My question is, when I'm accepting floating, etc. is it allowable to set a time limit?

My panic attacks can be so frequent that sitting quietly can take time, sometimes 30 minutes or more,

and this interferes with normal activities such as cooking and cleaning.

Many thanks Vicki.

Thank you Vicki so much for sending this question in.

I wanted to get to it because I have to say that questions about floating are very common.

And often floating is misunderstood.

And accepting is something that is just difficult period.

So I think that we can talk about both of those things today and see exactly what we can do to clear up the idea of what floating is and to actually talk a little bit more about accepting.

Because accepting, we get stuck with it, right?

I mean, what is it I'm am I accepting? Am I accepting the feeling of anxiety? Am I accepting the situation?
