Change occurs with support and with motivation.
By Lana Pritzker. Posted on .
A glass of wine, a short nap, or even a pill can cure a few hours of suffering, but can’t escape the reality of anguish and distress. Change occurs slowly, with support, and with motivation. We can’t always be motivated on our own, or have the support of our family and friends. For this reason, I decided to get a Life Coach to help me deal with my anxiety, depression, and panic attacks.
Lana Pritzker, a Certified Life Coach and Intuitive, helped me discover a whole new lifestyle and helped me overcome seemingly insolvable problems. With her guidance, I found ways to change my daily routines. She helped me cleanse my body and mind of toxins, which had profound implications in my life. After working with Lana, I found professional and personal success after struggling for months.
Reaching a point of despair, and yearning to get myself out of the rut I was in, I was interested in resolving deep rooted fears and other limitations hindering my success. A year and a half ago, I called Lana desperate for hope, a cure, and success. The results were far from what I expected. In the following months, due to the therapy received through our weekly phone sessions, the intensity of my panic significantly decreased as did my desire to stay in bed. Without traveling or medication, I triumphed from my safety zone, the house.
Lana’s strategies of determining my own soothing colors to run through the body, organizing my thoughts into compartments, and utilizing my sense of intuitiveness, helped me become more cognizant of my fears, my goals, and conscious awareness. On various occasions, she used other techniques which were also effective in contributing to my victory over anxiety.
Presently, I utilize Applied Behavior Analysis to teach students with Autism, am half-way done with my Master’s Degree in Counseling, and am taking graduate classes in Special Education. My fear of driving has been extinguished as I drive half an hour to and from work, an hour to graduate school, and run errands on my own. In addition, since getting engaged in December 2007, I have been planning a June 2009 wedding.
Through my sessions with Lana, she helped me overcome my fears by helping me realize what they were. Even though she resided in Chicago and I live in New Jersey, she still managed to teach me to trust my intuition and always act on it.
