Rochelle’s Favorite Topics Write Now! Conquer Fear Forever Rochelle tells your group her amazing story of how she overcame panic disorder and now supports others in living their best lives. Writing heals. It healed me. In 1998, several illnesses complicated my life and panic disorder dramatically curtailed it. I was a spiritual leader, author of several books, a popular speaker and retreat leader, and fear was eating me alive. By July of 1999, I weighed 95 pounds and had resigned from most of my speaking engagements. I feared everything. I rarely left the house alone. By the fall of 2000, I’d gained weight and my asthma, allergies, and IBS were under control. I got pregnant with my second child, began coaching school, and resumed my social and speaking life. What saved me? Writing. From July 1999 to the fall of 2000, I filled nearly 20 journals. When the anxiety flared in 2005, writing supported and healed me again. Many studies prove that writing about one’s difficulties and dreams helps people be happier, healthier, and more productive. I’ve experienced it and now can teach it to you.
