The Pages Of Your Life

How often we're grasping at straws, when we should be gripping the pages of a book written by an expert, someone who cares, someone who is not merely looking to reap the monetary rewards of royalties, nor the roar of the crowd of recognition and fame.

Such was the case with Dr.Claire Weekes' "Agoraphobia" -- a book which literally transformed my life after a terrifying and debilitating personal trauma.Suddenly, I had found myself thrust into a world of fear. The cyclical events of fight or flight ... could this keep happening again and again?Who would or could help me to overcome the effects of this experience?Noone could know what I was feeling, could they? How was I to spend the rest of my life living with fear all about me when I had so much to do?

I found myself browsing the "How to" book section and there it was... "a simple treatment for agorphobia."Was that what this was? I thought I was losing my mind. However, as I eagerly thumbed through the pages, I found other stories like mine. There *was* a cure, and it *was* simple enough.

After following Dr. Claire Weekes' suggestions, learning to go with the "flow" instead of fighting it. Learning to "accept" ... I empowered myself with the strength to find myself again. I left the fear behind me after nearly two years of constant suffering.

This was all accomplished within the pages of this wonderful book.Dr. Weekes, the Australian physician who was the pioneer in the area of agoraphobia, is no longer with us, but wherever she is, I hope she knows how many people are grateful to her for returning their lives to them.

I see this book is listed at Amazon.com as "hard to find."Well, don't give up trying to find it because this book will transform your life like it did mine.

Thank you, Dr. Weekes.
