“I am a banker and have a lot of workplace stress; I came to Dr. Linda with sleep problems and overall anxiety. I basically had been taking xanax along with a bottle of wine to sleep for about 6 months straight.
What I realized in care is that this anxiety and almost inability to shut my mind off was me not acknowledging or allowing myself to feel or experience any of the range of emotions I had experienced on a daily basis.
If it wasn’t convenient or didn’t follow my plan then it got shoved away, in my back initially until it was convenient to feel them, which was never! Now I am connecting with my body and allowing myself to be with these emotions, and discovering what they really mean.
I am beginning to trust in my ability to face life. I am no longer needing the alcohol or pills to sleep. I feel motivated empowered to finally make the changes in my life.”
