EP 023 – The Commonest Simplest Forms Of Nervous Illness – HHFYN Chap 4

Chapter 4 of Claire Weekes’ Hope and Help For Your Nerves.   This chapter is entitled “The Commonest, Simplest forms of Nervous Illness”.

In this episode we discuss:

• Common anxiety symptoms
• Being over-sensitized (everything is a trigger!)
• The role of fear and how fear of how we feel is what is keeping us “nervously ill”
• Why understanding and knowledge of what the situation is so helpful and important as a first step
• Why fighting against your anxiety, panic and fear, while a common approach, is often the wrong thing to do

Comments, questions and angry rants are always welcomed!
