Claire Weekes
Can I urge everyone who hasn't read it to read: "Self-help for your nerves" by Claire Weekes?
This book was literally life-changing the first time I read it four years ago, and played a big part in my recovery.
Now, after slowly drifting into a relapse (without even really realising it) - I decided to read it again. After just reading the first couple of chapters, I feel transformed! I'm almost afraid to post this, in case it is a "false dawn" - but I feel totally different to how I have felt for the past year or more (in a very good way!)! - Hope it lasts!
There is something magic in this book! - I think it is the way she understands the thought processes involved, and describes thoughts and fears I thought only I had! (I thought everyone else with panic was different LOL!)
She gets right to the root of the problem, and just reading about it seems to get into your sub-concious somehow!
Might not work for everyone, but definately worth a try!

Hi
Yes her books are excellent - I have a few of hers - even a dogearred one from the 1980s. She was ahead of her game.
Lots of professionals still follow her advice - just simple steps to follow.

I got three of these books from the MIND libaray today and they are the way ahead and combined with CBT this is all good stuff : )
