You are a master at audios like these, Gael. It is a perfect accompaniment to your surgery comfort audio. As someone who has had countless appointments, tests and operations, audios like these are a genuine life saver.
I am prone to getting highly stressed before pretty much any kind of medical appointment now, so having something like this to listen to is a huge relief. Nothing else really works to help the stress and anxiety ease off, I usually listen to music beforehand if I can, but that is more of a distraction than anything else, and the effects wear off as soon as the headphones come out. But with audios like this, it isn't just about the moments when it is playing, it gives a feeling that lasts afterwards.
These kinds of audios help people like me believe that everything will be alright, even if there is bad news or scary things ahead, eventually things will be okay. They also give us a sense of control again, like the stress isn't driving the bus as much as we thought, or as much as it was before we listened to the audio.
From the bottom of my heart, Gael, thank you for creating pieces like this. They make a big difference. <3

(Apparently Patreon is down for scheduled maintenance, so I’m writing this comment via the craptastic app. Since I currently can’t see all of the comments that others have written re: this audio, I apologize in advance if I end up repeating something that someone has already pointed out!)
I think this audio can be a useful resource in one’s anti-anxiety toolkit. Goodness knows that patients can often (and understandably) be a bundle of nerves when they come in for a health problem or to get test results, and many times their anxiety is for naught. The general message behind this audio can certainly help spare someone a lot of unnecessary worry, not just about health issues but in any number of situations (e.g., waiting to hear about whether or not they got a job they applied for, wondering how they did on an exam, etc.)
With that said, if I could change one thing about this audio, it would be to edit or remove the second last line. The audio is essentially gender neutral apart from the "My brave girl" line right near the end. Since most people will probably find themselves in the same or a similar situation as the scenario in the audio, I think keeping it gender neutral throughout would be a nice touch. (I know that, all things considered, it’s probably a minuscule detail, but I just thought I’d point it out 🤓)
I suppose what I’m mulling over (and this is basically just me thinking out loud at this point 🤔) is how different would this audio be if the scenario was extended 1 step further? As in, say the listener has actually just received bad news, and their "What If?" has just become a "Yes, it is"? I definitely see the value of trying not to live in the future since no one can predict with 100% accuracy how a grim situation will ultimately pan out. But while someone might be able to use mindfulness techniques to not let their anxious thoughts overwhelm them in that given moment, how would such techniques stack up against powerful emotions like fear, dread, anger, disbelief, or denial? Perhaps they would encourage the listener to acknowledge such feelings (since suppressing them isn’t a good long term solution), accept that they’re there, but to try not to attach thought to them?

I haven't listened yet, but just had to say that with my recent stays in hospital, your previous clips were a godsend. Really helped with anxiety and loneliness that can be hospital stays.

When ever I have needed help with anxiety, you have been the master of my zen... thank you!

One thing that I have always loved about your stuff, G - especially the more specified roleplays, is that even if the person can't relate to it directly, there is always something for anyone to take away from it. For me personally, being in hospitals and doctor's offices is really draining, both physically and emotionally, because I am empathic by nature and am incredibly sensitive to the pain and suffering of others. The little anecdote made me laugh and smile because it is a steady reminder that the truest, most pure part of you is something that no one can take from you. And yay, cuddles and snuffles!!! 🖤💋

Good morning G and Lovelies! I hope you all have a fantastic day today ❤️
2018-07-12 05:43:54 +0000 UTC
I really appreciate your way of dealing with anxiety. It's something I've found myself using in my own life in recent months, thank you!
2018-07-12 02:24:34 +0000 UTC
Gael, I hope you know how much of a gift you are! I love your voice and of course your stamina.
2018-07-12 01:22:35 +0000 UTC
It’s like you’re speaking directly to me. I have those annoying “what if” thoughts a lot 😣 Thanks for this 🙃

Your voice is so calming here, and I loved your story.😄 I'm afraid the zen master would have to cane the both of us, though, because my mind went to the cheekier meaning of moon after you told it, as well.😳😅 Thanks for this, sweetie.😘❤

a very sensitive topic, especially for us women, that you have met perfectly with your caring nature. You are really too good for this world ❤❤❤
