She later went on to produce more comprehensive books on the subject. Her book was the foundation for my recovery. Once I understood what was happening and why, I started to loose the overwhelming fear ... and that was the key to starting to become well again. But reading the book is not the cure, it is only the beginning. You need to digest it, understand it, and then put its principles into practice ... and be patient. Recovery from any illness is often two steps forward and one step backward, but in time you will be well again if you follow the help provided by Claire Weekes' book. {I am not computer-literate enough to understand the "profile" options required to post this, so I have to choose "Anonymous", but my name is Claire Hancock. :-) }Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-77771490137112176102011-09-27T03:08:32.105+10:002011-09-27T03:08:32.105+10:00I read this book approximately 12years ago, i was ...I read this book approximately 12years ago, i was a young woman and didnt know what the hell was going on.....it was fantastic...it bought me peace at a time when i thought i was going mad....would recommend to anyone suffering..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015299104362685233.post-25883330638939945252011-07-18T22:29:40.941+10:002011-07-18T22:29:40.941+10:00Dear Anonymous,

I was stuck in the house with agoraphobia, my dr only give me anti depressants and sleeping pills, then took them off me suddenly, saying I was a drug addict. Because of this book, I signed off the sick, went to college, and gained a degree at university. I am now in a steady job, but I am in the middle of a setback this last few days and I cannot find the book..... going to have to get another copy...

He doesn't say it anymore and we can have a laugh at the expression which for those who have never had anxiety would not realise how much damage these words can have. Only last night as my anxious thoughts threatened to overwhelm me I kept remembering the words in the book "your'e feelings cant kill you".This helped me feel the fear rather than fight it and be afraid. A great book that is helping me on my way to recovery.Julianoreply@blogger.com
