Dr Claire Weekes - The hole

[paula lynne]

Ive been reading Dr Weekes for over a month now, and its really starting to sink in, and aid my recovery. This is a little story that was written in honour of Dr Weekes :)

THE HOLE

An anxiety sufferer fell down a very deep hole.
A rich man walked by, heared his cries for help, and threw some money down the hole.

Next, a doctor passed by and hearing his cries for help, told the sufferer he would arrange for him to see a pyschiatrist, and left.
The sufferer was still in the hole.

The pyschiatrist arrived, asked a few questions, threw some pills down the hole, and left.

Next, a counsellor passed by. He asked the sufferer lots of questions about his past, and left. The sufferer was still stuck in the hole.

A priest walked by, and hearing the sufferers cries, got on his knees and prayed. He threw a bible into the hole, and left. The sufferer was very grateful, and read the whole thing. But he was still trapped down the hole.

The sufferers familly finally found him, suggested he pull his socks up, and get out of the hole. The sufferer pulled his socks up, but was still stuck in the hole.

Finally, a person who had recovered through the teachings of Dr Claire Weekes walked by, and upon hearing the sufferers cries, jumped into the hole with him.

"WHAT are you doing?!!" cried the sufferer..."Now were BOTH stuck down here!"
To which the recovered person replied "Its all right..Ive been here before. I know the way out"

Yes its great is that. I could not recommend Claire Weekes enough. I think she is a total and complete godsend and I wish I had known of her when I started with anxiety/panic/agoraphobia when I was 19 years old, 34 years ago!!! She would have saved me from a complete nightmare!

Hi purple to black, Im reading "Self-help for your nerves"...some bits oldfashioned, like recommending ect, and tranq use, but about 95% still excellent I feel x Also available on cd. x:)

[purple to black]

Thanks Paula :) x

[june]

:hugs:i have 2 books "self help with your nerves" And "Essential help for your nerves"
If i had to say which was best i would go for Essential help - it has a good index and you can usualy pinpoint your fear:blush:
I have said many times before my book has doubled in size due to the 'post it notes' that mark MY essential info. ( i am sure this book is in NMP shop):yesyes:
Best wishes
June
