- From severe agoraphobic to recovery with Claire Weekes' theory of gradual desensitization / ERP therapy! Agoraphobia is the fear of being in a situation where escape or getting help might be difficult. Being far away from home, being outside alone, taking public transport, going to movies, the grocery store, meetings, cinemas.. or anything else that's fun. It's a debilitating anxiety disorder often accompanied by panic disorder and depression.
Claire Weekes explains anxiety symptoms as merely normal symptoms of stress in a sensitized body. She defines sensitization as a state in which nerves are conditioned to react to stress in an exaggerated way; "that is, they bring unusually intense feelings when under stress, and at times with alarming swiftness." Severe sensitization produces the symptoms of anxiety: pounding heart, churning stomach, sweaty palms, pressure headaches and so forth. The more you worry about your symptoms, the more stress you put your mind and body under: and in turn it creates more illness.
Wishing you all the strength to overcome this. I am proud of all the things you managed to do. That trampoline on the ground looks so fun.
Thank you

Thank you for commenting
Do you have derealization also?I’ve been suffering with this for 7 years. I read Hope And Help For You Nerves by Claire Weekes and it’s a life saver.
I have had severe derealization, but it gets better now and then. Claire Weekes talks a lot about it in Freedom from Nervous Suffering also! Sending you lots of strength
I hope you're alright as the progress goes on fighting and overcoming from agoraphobia, anxiety and depression as well. May having a persistent and strong mind be with you, Its gonna be alright.
Thank you!
I'm going to try and organise my thoughts here; first, thank you for sharing your experience your thoughts and your journey. You're very brave and stronger than you realise. Being on public transport is also overwhelming for me, I feel trapped, hot, anxious, want to be invisible. But like you, it's exposure therapy. I went into the city this morning, everything seemed too bright too loud too many people, I only relaxed a bit when I was on the bus back home. When I was home I felt like crying. Having music playing constantly helps me a bit. I see you also listen to music as well. Do you find it helps a bit or a lot? Anyway I'm sorry if I'm rambling. Sending you Minion hugs. You're amazing and inspiring, brave and strong.
Thank you for these kind words. How are you doing now? I hope you are well. Sending you lots of love
Love these episodes! Thank you so much for sharing and being vulnerable. It gives me so much hope ❤.
Thank you so much for your comment. Sending you lots of love

This crap sucks. Mine gets so bad I can't even leave my room or talk to the people I live with.
I relate deeply. But it is very possible to get a lot better and to recover
@@thebigscreentheory thanks. I live in a really bad neighborhood so it's not even possible to do exposure therapy.
@@donaldquirk7801 how are you doing Donald?
@@thebigscreentheory I'm doing okay. How are you?
