Hope and Help for Your Nerves (Signet)
: I had suffered from terrible panic attacks for some time when I accidently stumbled upon this book. I began to get better as soon as I closed the back cover. Dr. Weekes provides a complete understanding of nervous illness and teaches you how you have the power to recover. After reading this book, you realize you are not alone, that your fears and feeling are just that, and you can control them. I beg anyone who suffers from panic to please read this book--you will get better!!!!
Of all the books I read on anxiety and panic Dr. Claire Weekes has written the best,"Hope and Help for Your Nerves" and "Peace from Nervous Suffering" both helped me. I was suffering so much that for a time I was housebound. Today this is just a memory, thanks to Dr. Weekes. If you need help and are willing to take the time to work at it, Dr. Weekes has all the answers you'll need. I shutter to think what my life would be like now if I hadn't found her advice.
I have had this book in my possession for aproximately twenty Years. I refer to it quite often. In this book I feel that Dr Weekes is speaking directly to me. That is a big help when the Anxiety and Panic take hold. Why am I ordering another copy?? I have given away about 15 to 20 copies over the years to those who are hurting the way I did. Read it---the help is there for the taking.
On the anxiety message boards that I visit, this book is recommended over and over again by people that have been helped tremendously by it, so I finally had to see for myself what all the hype was about and buy it. Right from the beginning of it I was comforted by the fact that there was someone out there who understands what I am going through, and more importantly, that can EXPLAIN what exactly is going on inside my body, and why there is a constant loop of fear that one can't seem to break out of. Since reading this book I have felt tremendously better, and I have a much more positive outlook for the future. :)
When I read her book for the first time I ended up throwing it in the trash can. The techniques she suggested seemed to simple for my "complicated" problems. Eventually I read this book again and understood that that was it: face-accept-relax and be patient. Claire Weekes is one of the few who really understands the mind of anxiety sufferer. Some people recover using this book alone.
