Wow, this has become a very interesting thread! I had never heard of Dr Weekes and just Googled her. Have folks here read her books, listened to CDs?
I can definitely agree with the Ace1 in that I immediately believed that my symptoms were caused by my emotions and right away began doing all the things that I previously believed had caused pain (typing, playing guitar, driving.) My symptoms got better right away but then came back which put me in a negative cycle of having symptoms which made me depressed/anxious which gave me symptoms which made me more depressed. It was hard to break this cycle but I did it with a lot of self talk and really I think a big turning point for me was that I got intensely angry at my unconscious mind. I yelled and raged at my mind. This was cathartic and ironic - to turn all the repressed rage back onto my unconscious. It may sound negative in some ways but it worked for me. |
