Don't Go Through Withdrawal alone. Join Us.
Book A Coaching SessionHello, I’m Jennifer
Like you, I trusted my doctor and suffered a chemical brain injury from the benzodiazepine that I took as prescribed.
Now seven years off the drug, I educate people worldwide about benzos, as well as help them learn to cope with withdrawal symptoms.
If I can be of any help to you, please reach out.
I’m here for you,
Jennifer Leigh, PsyD

WORKBOOKS TO HELP YOU HEAL
If you are off of your benzo, this journal will help you to keep track of your healing. You can make notations about your sleep, diet, exercise, distractions, spiritual practices, and more. A page of prompts helps you fill in your information quickly, and the proceeding blank page gives you room for your thoughts, sketches, doodles, etc. Be as creative as you’d like. There is also a section for doctors, therapists, and friends and family should you wish to share. I wish you all the best on your healing journey!
