Anxiety Cured With Dr. Claire Weekes
I have had so many readers who have found their anxiety cured by the Dr. Claire Weekes method that it’s something I recommend straight away, if you have heart palpitations, panic attacks or just general worry that makes you feel tight and tense, or short on breath. Best of all you can try her work at no cost.
Free Samples to Hear and Audiobook Downloads
There are free samples to listen to and free full downloads (with a 30-day trial) on Audible. Hope and Help For Your Nerves and Freedom From Nervous Suffering are both available on Audible. Who was Dr. Weekes and why was she so special? A good story about her can be found here.
Everybody’s Been Helped by Dr. Weekes
The Sydney Morning Herald – “People as diverse as 1960s housewives, the daughter of Richard Nixon’s drug czar, a British television producer, the late poet Les Murray, the singer Clare Bowditch, the famous US environmental activist Erin Brockovich, even prisoners have benefited from her work. The eminent anxiety specialist David Barlow, professor emeritus of psychology and psychiatry at Boston University, confirms she “created a treatment protocol to the unending benefit of tens of millions of patients over the years”.
Dr. Claire Weekes wrote 5 books over the course of her lifetime all of which are available at your favourite online bookstore or, likely, in your local library. Read the testimonials on Amazon to see how successful her books are at curing anxiety.

Depression and Someone to Talk To
If you are stuck with depression, need help now and are feeling blue (or worse) please call or email the Samaritans. I have had a fair bit of experience with this organisation over the years and they are trusted, tried and tested. In Britain, Charles, Prince of Wales is their patron.
It’s not religious, despite the name. The writer Monica Dickens was one of their earliest and most famous supporters – for the very good reason that the Samaritans work. Sometimes you just need to put the kettle on, make yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath and pick up the telephone. Or send an email. I have friends who are Samaritans volunteers and they come from very impressive careers. They have trained with the organisation over many months and do this from the heart. Do call. They are waiting.
