Unfortunately, Dr Weekes died almost 20 years ago, but despite this her work is still highly regarded to this day. Her work, which is internationally acclaimed, is based on her own personal experience of nervous exhaustion, her experiences as a doctor helping and observing her patients with all forms of nervous illness, and her ingeniously applied scientific knowledge. She would never claim to cure people; she would always say that she showed people how they could cure themselves. It was her belief that nervous disorders occur when people are kept in a state of extreme sensitization for an extended period of time. This state can come suddenly and be caused by an event, or occur gradually and be caused by living with an unbearable ongoing situation that causes anxiousness and stress. Her techniques are designed to teach people how to get control over their state of mind. She will simply teach you how to cope with feelings of fear and dread. Finally, she helps people to understand their physical symptoms and how they relate to their mental state.
