It was heartwarming when she got choked up. She understands the level of suffering to some degree. It's difficult to come by that kind of understanding from someone who hasn't experienced it firsthand.

You are doing valuable work ladies.

I can't believe I ever thought drugs would solve my problem, which was, I was being Abused and Bullied by a Malignant Narcissistic Brother. Thus, The Drugs, which Destroyed My Whole Life.

Benzo withdrawal is so hard. Especially if you’ve been on it for multiple years.

Thank you ladies. The head the UCLA Psychiatry Dept moderated a showing of Medicating Normal 4 months so. I attended and there was also a Panel Discussion after. I was there and met Dr. Cohen, 🙏 help healing and hope continues.

David Cohen, PhD, of UCLA gives us The Truth about these drugs! And talks about how Antidepressants have been proven To Be Ineffective. He says that you may initially get a minor "euphoria" effect, but that Always soon disappears. He has Several videos on related issues to drugs of a psychoactive nature. And if course, there's Dr. Peter Breggin, MD who starting Many Decades ago Sounding The Alarm on these "Brain Damaging" Drugs. Unfortunately, not everyone was listening. But his credentials are top notch. Add that to Dr. Goetsche and all the others who have extensive credentials in science who have been warning us for so many decades of this Crime Against Humanity. There are too many experts to count.

God work Angie 💜

[@user-xg4dk3ch6y]

Thank you SO much, both of you ❤🙏. In the middle of hell of psyk meds I think I only need a therapist to validate, listen, and help me to create a narrative to get through life and SURVIVE this trauma until I am clean from meds and hopefully then are able to use "normal therapy". I wish there were more of your kind and knowledge to help 1.000.000 of people in the world who suffer and die. Please don't stop your good work. We need you so much 🙏♥️. THANK YOU 🙏♥️

[@incognito595]

Millions. Probably Many, Many, Millions.

[@annidee]

Great discussion. More more more! I want to tell everyone

[@vikasgupta1828]

Thanks

Look up Vicarious Trauma if I spelled it right. I'm not a therapist but heard of this listening to Trauma videos.

[@kathrynbattista2720]

I remember my therapist twlling me”thank God for this medication” referring to the meds I was taking

[@kathrynbattista2720]

This was 2019 she didnt know what I was about to go through

[@incognito595]

When the only person willing to listen to you and take you seriously, and Care, is being paid to do so, you know your life is not what you deserve, and that something is wrong in your life. It's probably due to narcissistic abuse. But you might not even know that, because you don't know what to call it.

Any advice on tapering off pregablin

[@JacquiQ]

Gosh I wish I could fine ONE person, counsellor, in my whole country who actually understood abt Benzo/Psych drug wdl to support me as a coach/therapist. So alone in this. I went to my local drug rehab counselling place and they treated me like sh*t , they only interested in street drugs and alcohol counselling.

[@AngiePeacockMSW]

They are very hard to find. I coach people all over the world if you ever feel like you want to talk one on one with me. 💜
