Unfortunately, Dr Weekes passed away 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. Her emphasis was on showing people how to heal themselves and she never tried to claim that she had cured them. Dr Weekes theorized that nervous disorders result from extended periods of anxiety caused by an oversensitized mind. Sometimes the condition is brought about by an event and sometimes it occurs bit by bit, especially if the sufferer is forced to live with unpleasant circumstances. She teaches people through her self help methods how to regain mastery over their mental state.What’s more, Dr Weekes provides ways to manage and cope with the feelings of fear and dread that are commonly felt. Finally, she helps people to understand their physical symptoms and how they relate to their mental state.
