Insomnia involves difficulty falling asleep or difficulty staying asleep (e.g. waking throughout the night and struggling to get back to sleep).
Often, lack of sleep well is worsened by the anxiety it leads to: anxious anticipation of poor sleep becomes part of a negative feedback cycle through which insomnia is more likely to recur.
Through techniques in clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy we help you:
- Identify the nature of the sleep difficulties
- Disrupt the cognitive processes that sustain insomnia
- Learn strategies to let go of habitual busy-mindedness and embrace real rest
