Book Description

A practical guide to recovery from anxiety, stress, panic and fear Solutions to anxiety can seem confusing and often elusive. Despite recent advances in understanding the impact of stress and the pressures of today's world, anxiety is on the increase. In her comprehensive work, Peace from Nervous Suffering, Dr. Claire Weekes offers pragmatic solutions to change the patterns resulting from anxiety and fear. Drawing on both her own experience of nervous illness and years of dedicated work with her patients, she formulated an easy-to-understand method to recovery that has stood the test of time. Dr. Weekes understood the long-term effects that anxiety and panic disorders had on the lives of her patients and determined that extreme sensitization and fear avoidance kept people in a state of high nervousness. In Peace from Nervous Suffering, she unravels these symptoms into comprehensible components and breaks down the biological and psychological responses to anxiety. She guides the reader every step of the way, providing the knowledge and skills required to find the strength within to recover. Peace from Nervous Suffering offers an effective method for self-directed recovery and provides invaluable guidance and tools for anyone suffering from debilitating anxiety. Learn to cope more effectively with recurring feelings of panic and, with this new knowledge, build confidence in developing stabilizing responses to stressful situations. With the assistance of Dr. Claire Weekes you will discover the hope you thought you'd lost. This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648374425).
