STAFF PICKS: RECOMMENDED BOOKS
Dr. Claire Weekes MD wrote decades ago but her timeless wisdom still applies today. Many on staff have been helped by these 3 short books. She worked primarily with agoraphobia but her approach applies to all anxieties. She talks about the common symptoms of nerves: "My heart beats too fast," My hands tremble and sweat," "I'm unable to take a really deep breath," and how to overcome the battle with "adrenaline-releasing nerves."
