Claire Weekes is a hero . She suffered herself and managed to work out what was happening in her own body and how to reverse it . Imagine doing that while in the storm of anxious suffering . Genius . She should be acknowledged more often than she is .
Dr.Claire Weekes is a HERO in my book for all who suffer with anxiety issues she is THE GOLD STANDARD awe only need to have the courage to follow her teachings
Dr Claire Weeks got it right 50 years ago. No other expert is needed. Honestly i99% of the help and advice out there is all just confusion and stress when you need it least. Dr Weekes truly understood what was going on and how to easy fix it. Her book is just a few dollars and it’s so reassuring and simple to grasp.
True. However I found it hard to implement her ideas from the books. I've been doing this program, which is totally based on her teachings, for 4 weeks and so far I'm finding it easier to implement. 40 years of f#n social anxiety so see how we go
Dave Johnson is a legend in this field. He carries the legacy of Claire Weekes perfectly. Before trying medicines or vitamins to control your anxiety please purchase the program first. Thank me later.
Claire Weekes had all the answers. All of the thousands of people that are teaching anxiety recovery now are simply using the Claire Weeke's method when it comes down to it.
David Johnson's program very literally saved my life. I wish I could somehow convey to people who suffer from Anxiety what a difference maker this program can be. If there was a way to somehow cut past the typical defenses people put up when they're recommended a program like this, it would be so much easier to help people recover.
@@sonufam8756 it’s audio books with specific instruction and advice. There’s also membership to a forum that’s curated closely and contains only fellow subscribers. The forum did as much for my healing as the audio portion. I recommend this avenue to everyone I meet. 11 years and am living without the crippling anxiety that made seek this program out in the first place.
I just started the program, still cannot believe David talked to me on the phone for an hour and a half, he’s quite unique, hope I can do it , my life in the last 3 years has been crappy
David Johnson is a wonderful man! I hope to meet him one day. I live in England but want to visit New Zealand and Australia when I retire next year! Xx
I am going through it right now. God bless Claire Weekes, David Johnson, Paul David and Shaan Kassam. It started after a melatonin supplement I took that contained passiflora on June 30th 2022. That summer, summer of 2022, was the worst summer of my life. I experienced the full spectrum of severe anxiety symptoms. Extreme DP/DR, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, inability to sleep ( I kept waking up every 15 minutes). I thought I was going crazy, I was getting images of random memories, dream flashbacks, nightmares. I thought I was psychotic, I couldnt think rationally I was in another world. I obsessed about my nightmare dreams, I thought I was living in them, completely disconnected from reality. The bewilderement, fear, mind numbness were out of this world. I lost all sense of time and I felt a deep feeling of impending doom which was present at all times. The fight or flight response was on all the time, I had a feeling that I would dissapear, that I had to run to go somewhere. The passing of time was torturous, like I mentioned previously my sense of time was heavily distorted. It didnt matter to me if it were 3pm or 3am it was all the same to me. Actually just thinking of 2-3 hours ahead it would make me panic, it would create a lot of fear. I felt restless and agitated all the time. Constantly getting random images in my head accompanied by terrifying feelings. I went to the psychiatric emergency multiple times (5-6 times). I was given SSRIS, antipsychotics and any other medication you can imagine. What worked for me was a tranquilizer, a benzo called Ativan. I thank God for Ativan because it gave me a much needed break from the hell I was living in but then I found out that I can get addicted to it so I stopped taking it. I took it for about 2 months daily, about 2-3 mgs per day. At the time I needed a sedative, a tranquilizer. I was in a very severe anxious state. The switch was stuck in the on position and I TRULY TRULY felt that I would never get better. I had no relief during the day and no relief at night. The symptoms I was experiencing were extremely distressing. I was in such a desperate and distressed state. To this day, I have no idea how I survived. It was the prayers of the people who cared about me and God's grace. I am convinced that if it werent for the prayers of other people and God's unfailing mercy I wouldnt be here today or I would be highly dependent/addicted to benzos. I am still going through it but thank God to a lesser degree. I really cant wait to recover 100% and be my old self again. I hope that everyone going through this find peace.
This is fantastic. Many years ago I found Claire Weekes and David's programme. They saved my life. I needed so much to see this right now and be reminded of Claire Weekes teachings and David's programme. I have signed up again for a refresher course. Thank you💞
This man saved me and is an angel on earth and is so kind. His true calling is to help people and goes beyond means to support and encourage. I am so grateful for the teachings and method, takes me longer as I didnt have symptoms, but working on my RIV is the most important. Highly recommend!
@@petev4747 I am in a setback now again and getting scary intrusive thoughts I guess now I'm I in the phase why would I think such strange scary thoughts am I going crazy now I know I'm not believing the bluff but still did upset me!
@@jackiejovanoska7362 I went through the exact same thing you are describing. Just remember it's not the thoughts that are really upsetting you it's the anxious feeling that comes with them. Without that yuk anxiety feeling the thoughts wouldn't be as scary. You wouldn't even entertain the thoughts and quickly forget you even had them. The over exaggerated emotional response is the real culprit here. So all you need to do is allow the thoughts to come. Invite the gremlins in and let them wreak havoc. By doing this you are retraining your nervous system to not overreact to these thoughts. With continual practice the thoughts eventually loose all power because you are no longer resisting them. Are you on davids freedom from fear program?
Yes, as well he acknowledges freely and clearly. He credits her work for his recovery and then got her direct blessing to continue her work. Unfortunately she was very near the end of her life so he was only able to speak with her a few times but she supported him. If you visit his website, listen to his radio reviews or sign up for his wonderful program he always, always states this is all Claire Weekes. Now, that said, I find how he presents the material a bit clearer, perhaps because it is a touch more modern. Actually his program gave me a much deeper understanding of Dr Weekes' works as sometimes I find her original works to be a bit too complicated for my tired brain to comprehend.
I love this video Pete and it's so nice to see David! David and his incredible kindness saved my life too. You are right, it is not a quick fix but if you slowly work on all the concepts and repetitively listen to David's content then as time progresses you absorb more and more information and you will get there. David is my hero :) (and so is Claire Weekes). Thanks for taking the time to help others, you just never know who's life will be changed as a result.
This program is phenomenal. It cured my nervous suffering. I'm so thankful to have learned this powerful healing method....it will be with me the rest of my life. This is the CURE for anxiety....in all it's many forms.
I really appreciated the video, but Dr Johnson never explained what he needed to do that he hadn’t done when the panic came back. He said he always make sure his students didn’t make the same mistake. I was hoping that was going to be explained in the video, but it moved onto another segment of the video! What was it that he had to do or learn which led to the complete recovery???
Are you using the freedom from fear recovery program? Or are you reading Self Help For Your Nerves by Dr. Claire Weekes? There is no set time that it takes to recover, everybody is different as everybody has a different anxiety experience. Tell me more about your situation and I may be able to help :)
Also, I should mention that THIS IS NOT A HEAL QUICK FIX method of recovery. It takes work and dedication to change the way your body and mind respond to anxiety. It does work though. It took me just under a year before I could say I was back to my normal self again.
Sanja Vladisavljevic great, as I said in my earlier comment the acceptance therapy method is not a quick fix, it takes a real honest desire to overcome your anxiety for it to work. I know anxiety is a scary condition but with the guidance provided by David and Claire Weekes I know you can recover. It worked for me in under a year, and has so for many others. I encourage you to take the time to listen to the program slowly. If English isn’t your first language, find a friend who does speak the English well or ask on the freedom from fear forum if anyone can help - I hope this helps
I can’t cope with my anxiety I have my first panic attack eight years ago I have not been right cents I think about suicide all the time my whole body is knotted up
@@mikecollier8115 It's all about acceptance. Accept you are having bodily sensations. Accept you are having intrusive/ ruminating/ or mile a minute thoughts. Also accepting that through all that - none of those things can harm you and they aren't dangerous at all - just really uncomfortable. It's the fight that turns a moment of anxiety into a disorder. EVERYONE has anxiety about something and it's normal. It's the people that dwell on it that create a problem for themselves. The truth is knowing that anxiety will be a part of your life from time to time but not fearing or dreading when the next time it might appear. You'll just acknowledge it for what it is and move on with your day. That is recovery.
Claire Weekes is a hero . She suffered herself and managed to work out what was happening in her own body and how to reverse it . Imagine doing that while in the storm of anxious suffering . Genius .

I heard that some doctor told her about this and then she took it further for others
Agreed!

Lots of people trying to sell her ideas for profit these days.
Every time someone beats anxiety with her method, Dr. Weekes gets another feather in her angel's wings.
Thank you, Dr. Weekes!
'Strange thought in a tired mind.' Dr.Claire Weekes. That sums it all.

Try reaching out communities of people who overcame anxiety disorder.
I noticed learning the mechanism of anxiety helps. Like this video.
Make sure your getting lots of exercise. Work on accepting! Face it. Accept it. Let Dr Weeks teach you.
I hope you're doing better! 😊
How are you doing Andrew?
Let it happen ? Ok , I did that , it kept going for 6 days, I went to the Er , they gave me Propanalol and it finally stopped.
Exactly. What do they exactly mean when they say let it happen? Like I’m not letting it not happen, it’s not giving me much of a choice lol

Not so, chronic anxiety leaves you severely depressed, you need to explain the after effects of panic attacks
