Ageless wisdom

I have wrestled with anxiety and depression for a couple years now. I'm using several different approaches to get well. This audio book has had the most impact; I revisit it often

disappointed

This is not her reading the whole book. I was disappointed. I used to have the book and gave it away so I thought I'd just get it here and listen to it.

Really helps!

This book helps a great deal as a supplement to CBT and reading lots of other anxiety books. I find it especially helpful when I'm in a place where I'm unable to read, but can only listen to books on tape. Dr. Weeks helps to calmly talk me off the ledge if I think I'm going to have a panic attack.

Very comforting

To the point, basic and understandable. Comforting to hear the voice of reason almost like a mother figure rather than reading words on a page having it driven home by voice was very effective for me. Highly recommend.

Short but life changing

Yes, this is a short book but what she says is really life changing. I could feel a shift in myself and the way anxiety disorder has a hold on me. She gives hope and yes, you can defeat anxiety. Go slow, listen to this often and hold tight to hope.

Works best with book😊

First given to me by my father in book form, this is a must for panic disorder w/agoraphobia. I suggest using this w/book. Good Luck💜😊

Above and beyond amazing help for those struggling

Where does Hope and Help for Your Nerves rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would rank this number 1 in all of the self-help recordings I have listened to over the years. Why? Because it is simple, yet effective help for those suffering from anxious brooding and a depressed, stressed mind and body. This book is about accepting where you are right now and moving forward, not wasting time looking back and pondering how you got this way in the first place.

What did you like best about this story?

As this is an old recording, some of the talk can seem a bit dated, but I like that. Claire Weekes voice is calming and supportive. She keeps you in the here and now, not ruminating about the horrors of your past.

What did you learn from Hope and Help for Your Nerves that you would use in your daily life?

Claire Weekes simply states what is happening to make you feel anxious and then why you fear moments of becoming anxious and how you get caught in this cycle of anxiety-fear-more anxiety because of the fear. When you start accepting your feelings in any given moment, not tensing up and becoming afraid of your anxiety, then you can begin to heal. This really is life changing audio book for me. I cannot believe how simple it is to start. Simple in action, but hard to do at first so you keep practicing until it becomes a habit. You can recover from nervious conditons if you are accepting of your emotions and thoughts and patient with yourself. Best Wishes!

Amazing!

This cured my fear of going out and having a panic attack; that said it is not a magic bullet that will cure anxiety, but if you practice what she says life becomes more bearable.

Dr. Weekes Really Understood Panic and Agoraphobia

The first doctor I ever saw for panic attacks and agoraphobia recommended Dr. Weekes books many years ago. I still have them and have re-read countless times.
I was thrilled to see some of her work on Audible.
She has very practical advice and states things in such a kindly manner.
The subject matter is very difficult and complex. She walks you through gently but firmly.
I recommend the books to go along with these recordings.
So glad to have them!
