World Leading Psychologist: How to Manifest Anything & Create the Life You Want
"There was a time in my life where I had everything I wanted. I had a beautiful place to live. I had an incredible job. I mean, absolutely incredible. There was a lot of pressure and I did go through a divorce. And so when the stress increased a lot, I started drinking very heavily."
Psychologist Dr Cassandra Vieten tells Mel Robbins she began “drinking very heavily” during a high-pressure period that included a divorce, and describes how she initially convinced herself things would be fine if she told no one. Vieten says she eventually disclosed the problem to a colleague, who she recalls immediately offered support and arranged time away from work so she could get help.
