Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with me, Nicole Sacks.

You are here.

Hello, everybody.

What's up?

It's Nicole and you have reached my podcast, The Cure for Chronic Pain.

Welcome to it. Happy to be here with you guys today. So today we have a really interesting conversation with Lauren. I love

hearing from people from all over the world, people who I have never met, people who I have never interacted with, who

have done this courageous and heart-opening and difficult work on their own, you know,

utilizing, yes, my book and my courses, but not actually interacting with me and then hearing

their stories.

It's just amazing.

And I also love to highlight, as you know, the kind of content that isn't often discussed.

So today is one of those days.

Lauren is going to be talking to us about debilitating insomnia, something

I am intimately familiar with, given my lifetime of on and off dancing with this fun

symptom, and for Lauren also withdrawal from benzodiazepines.

And that is something that I know many people struggle with.

They were prescribed benzos.

I would imagine, I'm just going to say by a well-meaning doctor, when they were either

super anxious, you know, just really struggling to function.

And I guess in the medical community, it has been uncertain how addictive and how difficult it is

to get off of these class of medications, benzodiazepines.
