Ancient sages compared the human mind to a monkey: constantly chattering, hopping from branch to branch - endlessly moving from fear to safety.

Unfortunately, you can't switch off the "monkey mind", but you can stop feeding the monkey - or stop rewarding it by avoiding the things you fear.

Dr. Weekes is a life-saver. I owe her mine.
Dr Claire Weekes was a woman way before her time. I have listened to her tapes records read her books and now listen to her audiobooks which she narrates. Her voice is soothing and her knowledge extensive and she fights for you and teaches you how to heal yourself. Her wisdom could be applied to a variety of different areas including benzo withdrawal and agoraphobia. I have all three and they helped me so much. God bless you Doctor Weekes.

listen,internalize,practice,forget,fail,&repeat
The best part is simply hearing someone speak the words I could never quite find for myself. There is so much value in receiving affirmation, especially in this context!
I often felt as if I could jump and cheer,
"YES! THAT'S IT! That's exactly how it feels!"
I still like to listen to this again every few months or so.
I always pick up something new while reminded of some great Truths I've managed to forget.
Nothing too harsh
or too heavy.
No condescension.
No coddling.
She expertly balances blunt truth with gentle guidance.
No complex psycho-babble.
(the kind that helps their expertiste-ego
more than it helps my progress)
Her "tips" are uncommonly gentle, simplified & manageable.
Not impossibly idealistic.
Not patheticly over-indulging.
Small phrases, Simple words, repeated frequently enough to naturally be memorized without "trying" !!!
No post-it notes all around your house.
No notecards to tote around.
She's also a great narrator - I found her mild accent to be quite endearing. Overall, it feels like a very comfortable conversation with a wise & compassionate advocate.
Now then:
* STOP STRUGGLING *
.... to listen to (read) more lengthy reviews, like mine
* ACCEPT *
.... your excellent decision to listen to (or read) this book!

Very good. Claire Weekes is the best help I've ever found. I don't understand why she isn't the main go to for advice. If my doctors had prescribed this ten years ago, I'm sure I wouldn't have travelled down the rabbit hole of anxiety. Try it. you honestly have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

The relief I have been searching for.......
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would certainly recommend this book to any anxious person. Dr. Weekes provides some very simple but effective advice about overcoming anxiety. And it's really easy!
What did you like best about this story?
Dr. Weekes explains step - by - step, how to face your fears and thoughts that are driving the anxiety you feel; and explains what they mean, what they are, and how harmless your anxiety actually is. When it's explained this way, it loses its 'fear - factor'.
Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have listened to both audio books by Dr. Weekes; both are equally as good :)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Once I start listening to her I can't stop. Her voice is soothing and quite hypnotic!

An anxiety saviour
I found Dr Weekes by accident, following information from another health related website, she is fantastic. The audio is a bit old fashioned, rather a lot of "housewife"'references and a voice a bit like Dame Edna, but don't let that put you off. The audio and books are simple, sensible strategies to banish anxiety. I suffer with agoraphobia and have found Dr Weekes audio books help enormously to get me to move forward. Her methods have been "borrowed" by so many modern anxiety coaches and expensive online cures. Trust Dr Weekes.
