Short and Sweet

Any additional comments?

I suffered from anxiety and depression a few years back, and it turns out that what Dr. Weekes suggests here as a cure is pretty much exactly what I did back then to get over it. Accept the anxiety -> lose the fear of the anxiety -> lose the anxiety. Since getting pregnant I have had bouts of anxiousness and , occasionally, out of control moodiness that remind me so much of my past anxiety/depression issues that sometimes it has felt like a relapse. So in order to fortify myself against the stress of the impending delivery, the crazy hormones and the sleeplessness ahead, I looked for a little something to help me relax, 'accept my landing', know that even if this is a relapse I can recover again just like I did last time.This "book" is a series of four radio broadcasts from 1967 by Dr. Claire Weekes, in which she speaks in slightly antiquated language about her experience in working with patients that suffer from anxiety disorders. She presents both her views of the underlying problem and the solution to the problem in a very clear, simple and passionate manner, and she is absolutely endearing to listen to :) This recording may be over forty years old, but in my opinion this lady's ideas are still spot on. (Plus - it's quite fun to get a little glimpse of 60s societal norms as a side dish to the still very relevant main material.) I'm so glad I chose this as my 'fortification' book because, strangely, what took me so long to figure out for myself back in the day, what finally let me move on from my extremely frustrating and often debilitating disorder, is right here, in a sweet, neat little 2 hour package. Although I wonder if, had I heard this back then, I might have dismissed it as outdated, way too simple, impossible, not enough. It is none of these things - not if you can get up the guts to truly follow this advise. Good luck!p.s. I recommend listening to the sample to see if you like her manner, diction and accent. Personally, I think they're adorable :)

Love Dr. Weekes. A Pioneer in Tx of Panic Attacks

Dr. Weekes advice has helped me more over the years than anyone or anything.. I'm thrilled that Audible has 3 of her gems and I can access them whenever I need them.
Her treatment is, as she says - simple but not easy. This is so true. She really understood panic attacks, agoraphobia, and so much more.
She has such a gentle, sweet way about her. I love her homey style and lovely Australian accent.I instantly calm down when I'm listening to her.
I hope this helps someone else. Panic is so horrible to live with.
Thank you, Audible for offering these gems.
I wish Dr. Weekes was still alive. She was so underrated.

Legend therapist

She’s the original therapist to treat anxiety/panic disorder simply for what it is, which is not dangerous, but uncomfortable and annoying. The book is a bible for those who suffer with the disorder.

Amazing insight

Dr Weekes is able to clearly and concisely describe how your nerves take a hold of and play tricks on you. She has an amazing ability to relate to the sufferer and bring a belief and positive reassurance that things can and will get better with acceptance and time.
