Dr Claire Weekes

Hi all,

I saw someone on here recommend a book by Claire Weekes called “self-help for your nerves”. I can’t remember who recommended it, sorry! But wanted to say thank you as it is a brilliant book! It seems like it would be great for anyone suffering with any degree of anxiety and/or stress.

So thanks again and I would definitely advise anyone who hasn’t read it to give it a go. I picked it up for less than £7 online.

Cheers,

Al

Thanks to Dr. Claire Weekes I was able to beat my anxiety the first time around. This time I am reading her books again, as well as DARE by Barry McDonaugh. Both excellent.

I'm a huge fan of her methods and ideologies - the books are dated now, wording has changed for various conditions/symptoms over the decades and we can tell they are 'old books'. However, I honestly think that many books that follow her are just using the same effective methods but written in a more updated style, just elaboration of her ideas. She was the godmother of self-help for anxiety!

Totally agree, she was my saviour, more than once!

And mine

I love Claire! That gal knew her stuff when it came to anxiety!

I also love Claire Weekes books. I have them as audiobooks. The books and you tube videos by Dr Harry Barry are also very good.

Harry Barry..Great name!

Yes! Parents obviously did not think that one through!
he has a lovely soothing voice and a soft Irish accent. Worth a listen especially when he explains about panic attacks.
