Breaking Down Anxiety: Key Takeaways from Claire Weekes' Classic
“Knowledge is power, but we deal with sensitization, bewilderment, and fear. Fear of the unknown is as much as the known. Everything becomes a trigger. You're afraid of how you feel, and that is what once you get into that territory.”

In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata and Holly dive into chapter 4 of Claire Weekes' seminal book, 'Hope and Help for Your Nerves'.
