Things I Learned Teaching Benzo Peer Training
A benzo peer support training class can be quite educational — especially for the instructor. In early November, I had the pleasure of teaching a sold-out course to individuals with a wide mix of backgrounds. It was quite illuminating. In today’s episode, I share some insights from teaching peer support training. I also discuss my response to some constructive criticism, look at our focus here at Easing Anxiety, and wish everyone a very happy holiday season.

Who Am I Now? Confidence and Self-Esteem in Benzo Withdrawal (BIND)
Personality changes. Loss of ability. Loss of confidence. Loss of self. These are common in benzo withdrawal and BIND, and yet we rarely talk about them. What does this look like? What are its causes? And most of all, what can we do about it?In today’s episode, we explore the loss of self during benzo withdrawal. We also respond to a question on tinnitus, share a comment on the benefits of nature, and hear a benzo story from New Zealand.https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/who-am-i-now-confidence-and-self-esteem-in-benzo-withdrawal-bind-bfp122 (https://www.easinganxiety.com/post/who-am-i-now-confidence-and-self-esteem-in-benzo-withdrawal-bind-bfp122)Video ID: BFP122Chapters00:00 INTRODUCTION01:28 Back from Vacation03:36 Benzo Work Updates04:57 Still Have Some Symptoms07:00 Today’s Format08:11 MAILBAG08:17 Benzos and Tinnitus12:58 Nature and Connection15:39 BENZO STORY16:29 Eta’s Mum’s Story / New Zealand22:04 Medical Communication Failures25:40 FEATURE26:59 BIND Refresher27:43 Our Lives Have Changed28:29 Benzo Life Effects Data30:41 Loss of Confidence35:00 Humility vs. Egoism35:54 Symptoms that Affect Confidence38:23 What Can We Do?38:42 Making Use of the Extra Time40:35 Finding Acceptance42:59 Six Tips for Improving Self-Esteem47:22 MOMENT OF PEACE ResourcesThe following resource links are provided as a courtesy to our listeners.
