Insomnia

Insomnia, as is the case for all sleep disorders, can be incredibly frustrating, particularly when we know that at some point in our lives, there was a time that we slept well. If we go back as far as childhood, we would have slept well at some stage of our life.

​

This is something I can definitely relate to as it is insomnia that initially brought me to hypnotherapy and I soon realised that, once I established the root cause, I was able to understand my insomnia and manage it.

​

As we grow older and life brings its stresses, worries and concerns, we can develop a regular sleep issue. Sleep deprivation can cause problems at school, work, in relationships and generally leave us feeling very unhappy and fatigued. Hypnotherapy is a fantastic process where we can begin to learn to relax again and, at some point, start to improve our sleep pattern.

​

When we try to sleep, the chance is that we can fail and this is because we're trying to stay awake. When we try to sleep, we are actually focusing on the lack of sleep rather than how it will feel to wake rejuvenated and refreshed the next day. Sleep then starts to become pain rather than pleasure. Let's begin the process of unlearning this bad strategy you have of trying to sleep and learn to drift off peacefully again.
