Pass Through Panic : Freeing Yourself from Anxiety and Fear

Rating:
Summary: The reassuring voice of Dr. Claire Weekes.
Review: Dr. Weekes' "Pass Through Panic" audio tapes provide a useful follow-up to her two exceptional books on panic and nervous suffering. I discovered the availability of the tapes years after I had read the books over and over again. I do recommend using Dr. Weekes' materials in that order: books first, and then the tapes. The tapes repeat, in a most personalized way, much of the material in the books. But, here you have the advantage of her strong, decisive but always reassuring, calm voice. Panic need not rule one's life. Dr. Weekes says as much with great authority and experience in the treatment of the problem. Always with warmth (much firmness, too), she builds the listener's confidence, urging every sufferer to heed her words and knowledge. A pioneer in what we now know as cognitive therapy, Dr. Weekes dispells the commonly held fears that assail the panic-stricken person. "Listen to me," she seems to command in a rich alto voice that delivers the messages of "acceptance," "floating," and "glimpsing" that will soon become familiar, helpful terms in coping with, and coming out of, states of nervous anxiety. Here are two wonderful tools to pack with a small tape player in one's purse or suitcase on that short or long trip...just in case.

Summary: Better than any current "pill" could do...
Review: I have dealt with anxiety disorder for many years, most of those in an abject misery of non-living, until finally a counselor recommended Dr Weekes to me. Whereas a pill can help deaden the sensations, Dr Weekes has taught me how to turn off the panic button inside of myself. I still have moments of anxiety, but she has taught me how to stop the sudden rush of adrenalin from turning into blinding panic. This has given me my life, and she has my eternal gratitude. I recommend her techniques to everyone that i know who suffers from anxiety issues, I only hope that someday someone will listen to me, a person who's first recorded anxiety attack was at the age of 3; a person who knows that this is the real answer.

Summary: Thank God for Claire Weekes
Review: These tapes have helped me understand the anxiety and panic that I'm feeling. Dr. Weekes has a wonderful way of emphasizing her points and making you feel like you can conquer this illness. Her legacy is helping me and hundreds of others like me and for that I am grateful. Her methods and beliefs really do help to soothe the sensitized nerves of an anxious sufferer. These tapes are WELL worth the price.
