The police came knocking...

The police came knocking...

A couple of days ago, a friend of mine came over for dinner.


She wasn’t her usual self - she seemed tense, teary and distracted.


‘What’s going on?’ I asked her.


‘Do you remember when the police came knocking on my door a couple of month ago? Since I’m alone in the flat, every time I hear the elevator I expect to hear footsteps and a knocking on my door. I feel so scared and restless.’



A couple of month ago, the police stood at her doorstep demanding her to go with them.

They didn’t tell her why - just dragged her down, into the blacked out police car and drove her to the police station.

There, they left her sitting in the interrogation room by herself for over 2 hours.

She had to hand over her phone so she couldn’t even ask for help or tell anyone what was happening.


She was coping with the happenings but when we went back into lockdown and she wasn’t able to leave her flat, the memories came flushing back. The fear grew stronger and manifested in her heart racing, sweaty palms, shaky hands and her thoughts painting dreadful scenarios.


‘Anna, you told me about your 2 minute exercise. Do you think it will work for me?’ she asked me with desperation in her eyes.


‘I think so - let’s try it and see what happens’ I said to her.


We did the exercise. I could see her tensing up, on the edge to cry. We finished the exercise and she said that she didn’t really feel any difference. It was obvious that it didn’t work as her hands were shaking.


‘Ok. We do it again and this time I want you to take your time until you are there.’


It took her a couple of minutes to get into it 100%. We continued with the finishing step.


‘How are you feeling?’ I asked her - I could see that something had changed.


She looked around as if she would search for something. ‘I feel calm as if a weight has been lifted - it’s gone. When I think about it now I don’t feel any fear.’ A smile appeared in her face :-)?


‘I’m thinking about all the other things I’m fearful about that I could neutralise with this’ she said.


"I physically witnessed the built up anxiety exiting my body through my fingertips. I left the session feeling a profound sense of relief and useful tools to cope with any unforeseen triggers that might arise in the future." - L.W.


Why am I telling you this?


Of course, I want you to sign up and try this exercise for yourself - it's only available till the 31st December.


BUT I also want you to know that it’s an investment in your future. I’m teaching you a technique you can use for EVERYTHING that is bothering you, causing you sleepless nights, holding you back from living your life the way you want to.?


I want you to start 2023 without emotional baggage!


I only got this one life - make the most out of it!


Yours

Anna
