Dr. Claire Weekes Helps Millions Overcome Anxiety

Best-selling author Dr. Claire Weekes (1903-1990), Hope and Help For Your Nerves and Peace From Nervous Suffering, is widely acclaimed for her revolutionary approach for treating anxiety, panic, and phobic disorders.

She has achieved distinction as the first woman Doctor of Science at the University of Sydney, and was recognized by Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to medicine.

Claire Weekes opened up new fields of thought in self help psychiatry. Because her down to earth methods were so highly regarded, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1983, and once again in 1990. She was years ahead of her time and her work is as applicable now as it has always been.

Her remarkably simple and effective alternative mental health solutions draw upon her belief that the mind and body are inextricably linked. Because of her personal wish, her works will remain available to restore peace to the bodies and minds of millions of eternally grateful people.

Dr. Claire Weekes is a master at reassuring her readers, and listeners of her audio programs, that they're not alone and that there is nothing wrong with them.

Her step by step self help methods teach one to regain control over their state of mind. She will simply teach you how to cope with feelings of fear and dread. Also, unlike any other, she will help you thoroughly understand your many physical symptoms which can be caused from overtaxed nerves.

Perhaps this healing prayer will also help you on your get well journey, as it helped me.

Her easy to follow books, programs and techniques continue to be recommended by doctors, psychiatrists and therapists throughout the world.

Dr. Weekes is the first one that explained the cause and a simple solution to nervous illness. Her anxiety relief advice may not seem like "brilliant" advice, but for those who have experienced this life altering cycle firsthand, they'll recognize immediately just how right, insightful and truly brilliant she really is.

I am so grateful to best-selling author Claire Weekes for offering her simple and affordable self help approach to overcoming anxiety. Her two books, Hope And Help For Your Nerves and Peace From Nervous Suffering should go down in the hall of banishing anxiety fame.



She is widely praised for her practical methods which work to detangle those tangled up in the web of bewilderment, habitual fear, stress and often depression.

Her two books mentioned are what greatly assisted me in overcoming anxiety attacks that I had been contending with for several years. Her books, especially Hope And Help For Your Nerves, combined with some natural anxiety relief supplements greatly helped me overcome severe anxiety.

If you have gotten to the point where you are afraid of your disconcerting symptoms, then Dr. Weekes's books are just for you.

Remember, Dr. Weekes always recommends to get a full physical exam to rule out other concerns. That is what I did.

The way Dr. Claire Weekes writes, it seems like she must have experienced the anxiety attacks herself. Her understanding of a person's feelings and fears is extremely insightful and the way she writes with such clarity, comfort and non fear promoting is what has helped so many recover from anxiety in its many forms.

Many of her patients thought for sure something must be seriously wrong with them. Her patients were unaware that a pattern of fear and tension can cause so many symptoms. Yes, fear can perpetuate the cycle of anxiousness.

Dr. Claire Weekes says so much of nervous illness is no more than severe sensitization kept alive by bewilderment and fear.

Sensitization is a state in which our nerves react in an exaggerated way to stress. The nerves may react with extreme swiftness, almost in a flash.

I was amazed to learn that the fear of my symptoms was helping to keep this anxiety fed and alive. Bingo, not until I read her words did I realize I was so afraid of my symptoms thus shooting off more adrenalin which was exacerbating my symptoms.

Unbeknownst to me, I was "feeding" the anxiety. I was not aware I was doing this until Dr. Weekes calmly and clearly laid out her explanations.

Dr. Claire Weekes truly understands what the sufferer is experiencing. Her techniques of acceptance show that by passing through panic, rather than trying to stop it, you find yourself much less fazed by the symptoms, rather than being afraid and shaken up by your frightening symptoms.

This book should be in every doctor's office. When a doctor understands their patient is experiencing strong anxiety, this book should be immediately recommended to their patient. This book would help nip in the bud the growing anxiety disorder's physical and mental manifestations.

Weekes's other book, Peace From Nervous Suffering, offers additional help for those suffering with the anxiety state and also presents special help to those dealing with agoraphobia. Others claim her works have done more to help phobic sufferers world-wide than all other treatments combined. After reading and following her teachings that helped me finally become anxiety free, I can understand why.

Hope And Help For Your Nerves was my most useful book. However, I obtained some nuggets of wisdom from Peace From Nervous Suffering which deals primarily with agoraphobia.

So if you are contending with anxiety, I highly recommend these books, especially Hope And Help For Your Nerves. Study her words and refer back to the books often while overcoming your anxiety. Please also let others struggling with anxiety know of her books.

Dr. Claire Weekes states, "Hope And Help For Your Nerves is so successful because it offers what so many people have longed searched for in vain - a simple, clear, full explanation of why they look at others in the street, thinking, 'What has happened to me? Why can't I be like them, be the person I used to be?' With bewilderment gone, fear soon goes too, and with it, nervous illness."

She also believed nervously ill persons who depend on tablets are like tightrope walkers trying to stay balanced. The teachings in Hope and Help For Your Nerves cannot only catch a person if they fall but also stop them from falling.

I can't wait until your anxiety disorder is no longer your day to day reality.

I wish Dr. Claire Weekes were still here to thank her personally for her contributions to those suffering with anxiety and nervous illness. Well done Dr. Weekes.

I especially like a quote by W. R. Houston which is at the beginning of Hope And Help For Your Nerves.

"Many of those who suffer from nervousness are persons of fine susceptibilities and delicate regard for honor, endowed with a feeling of duty and obligation toward others. Their nerves have tricked them, misled them."

Yes, people with anxiety are intelligent, capable and conscientious people. Those suffering with nervousness have nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Just like the millions of people before them, their nerves have just misled them.

Recovery awaits you too. To learn the shorter version of my journey to overcoming anxiety attacks, please click here.
