Relief from Anxiety,Phobias and Depression through Reading?

Do you want to get relief from depression, phobias and anxieties through Reading? It is nothing but undergoing drug-free Psychotherapy through reading certain books. Have you ever heard about Dr. Claire Weekes and Dr.David Burns? Dr Claire wrote the following self-help therapy books:


1. Help and hope for your nerves
2. More help for your nerves
3. Peace from nervous suffering


Dr.David Burns wrote ‘Feeling Good’ – treatment of Depression without drugs and a new MOOD Therapy.

Especially, when we start reading Dr.Claires books, we get relief from the fact that nervous disorders are shown from a different angle terming them as ‘Sensitisation of Nerves’. The feelings one experiences due to the nervous sensitization are a trifle more in those treated as patients. In normal individuals these feelings are present to a manageable degree. With this definition, the Stigma attached to the term DEPRESSION is removed.

Each chapter would lead the reader step by step to a wonderful world of peace and normalcy from nervous sufferings one by one to glimpse of complete normalcy. For the first time the reader feel like working on himself towards happy living. The chronics need to d repeat readings. Mild sufferers would get relieved in one or two readings itself.

After going through the books we would be given to the understanding that nervous suffering is just the invisible version of physical suffering.

While any kind of physical suffering is approved socially without any STIGMA attached to it. We are heading for times when nervous ills are also recognised without any apprehension and they would soon be identified as 'common disorders’. This is more so in the developing countries where these nervous disorders are suppressed and blocked from open discussion.
