Recommendation!

Long story short is I have panic disorder and I recently purchased “Hope and Help for Your Nerves” by Dr. Claire Weekes after seeing it recommended by many on here. This book has completely changed my perspective on my panic attacks and anxiety. If you want some really good insight and information about those things GO READ THIS BOOK! I’m not promising it’ll cure you but it will definitely make you feel like you’re not alone and that it is possible to get through this!

I recommend the book all the time I sure hope you saw it in one of my posts please read my post why aren't more people following me. I have the paper back version and I'll never get rid of it I only turn to it when I need it which luckily isn't that often. Dr Claire Weeks is one of the founders of CBT therapy. She was way way ahead of her time.

I've read this book in particular twice. But when I want a quick refresher I listen to her sweet calming voice.

I don't know if it's doing it to you but when I press on it I'm over half way through so make sure you back it up to the beginning😉

One of our long time member Jeff 1943 recommended this book to me a couple of years ago when I was going through a really bad time and I am eternally grateful to him.Hope it keeps on working for you.

rgarza, this has also been my choice of books and theory when Anxiety first plague me.

Excellent base to build our success on. :) xx

There are also videos of Dr. Weekes available on Youtube that are great. She definitely was ahead of her time. Also, if you find you need additional help/support you could check out the DARE book and program by Barry McDonagh, he credits Dr. Weekes and his program builds on her approach with practical, easily understandable methods to resolve panic and anxiety. There are also apps for you phone that are helpful. It helped me through a rough patch a number of months ago.

Yeah I own that book as well! I haven’t read all of it but kind of skimmed through it! I have the app though!
