VALERIE BERTINELLI IS ‘PROUD’ OF HER BODY AFTER ’64 YEARS OF GRAVITY’
She said the panic attack left her shaking for hours as she tried “everything she could to meditate and EMDR my way out of this.”
“Part of me is fascinated by what the human body is capable of when our emotions can get in the way or override any rational thought, and another part of me is just curious as to how it all happens,” she wrote in the caption. “You know the weird neuropathies in our brain and how they affect our bodies, what the sensations are (which are just info btw) and why they are so powerful that they make our body go faster.”

Shortly before announcing that she had a panic attack, Bertinelli posted a photo of herself with a large wound on the hand at the end of October.
“I would have asked for risk pay, but it was my damn fault,” she wrote in the caption. “I’m working on a really fun new project that I can’t wait to tell you about, and this is what happens when you literally trip over the corner of the stage and fall on… in front of the crew. And the whole audience.”

The “Hot in Cleveland” actress also made positive changes in her life this year, abstinence from alcohol and living a sober lifestyle. After deciding to participate in “Dry January” at the beginning of the year, the actress realized the benefits of sobriety and decided to maintain her lifestyle.
“Even with life’s struggles and how challenging life can be, I find it’s easier for me to quickly clarify what I need to do and take care of my life,” she explained to People in July. “I feel good when I wake up in the morning. I’m not groggy. I’m not tired. I’m not, ‘What did I do last night?'”
She told People in April that alcohol was part of her “toolbox to calm down and ignore the s—” to deal with after her 2022 divorce from ex-husband Tom Vitale.
“There was so much sadness in my life, and alcohol amplified it,” she said.

And I don’t want to do what I’ve been doing for the last 64 years.
“I want a better, cleaner, cooler, more exciting way to knock out the last 20.”
