Sleep problems
Everyone experiences times when sleep is a problem for short periods, and while unwelcome, that can be OK. We can cope with it being temporary. But when poor sleep is what you experience night after night, then it is a very different story indeed. People can often become trapped in a vicious, continuous cycle of tiredness, increasing stress levels and damage to their physical, emotional and mental health.
How well you sleep at night often depends on your mental state before you go to bed. You may feel exhausted physically but if you are beset by worries or just have endless thoughts whirling around in your head, it can be very hard to get to sleep. And if this happens, what do you do? Do you just lie there in the dark with nothing to distract you from your thoughts? Feel really uptight and helpless, and perhaps get more and more frustrated at not being able to get that good nights sleep that you are long overdue? Or do you just give up and get up for a while? And when you finally get to sleep, do you wake up feeling good or just more tired than ever?
A good nights sleep is the body's way of recovering and one of the best antidotes to stress and irritability, lack of concentration and just generally feeling low. By good sleep I mean regular, good quality sleep that revitalizes the mind, body and spirit. So just how do you break the vicious cycle and start to enjoy healthy sleep once again?
Sleeping pills may give temporary relief but of course they often come with unwelcome side effects such as drowsiness. With pills there is also the risk of becoming dependant on them. Medical opinion is clear, sleeping pills are not a good long-term solution.
Hypnotherapy is a highly effective way of overcoming sleep problems. In just a few sessions I can help you to:
* Reconnect your unconscious mind with a time you slept soundly, deeply, healthily and easily ñ no matter how long ago there was a time when you enjoyed a good nights sleep as regular as clockwork;
* Reset your body's sleep clock;
* Restore your ability to drift off and enjoy a good night's sleep;
* Learn relaxation techniques and train your mind to slow down when your body is getting ready for sleeping;
* Identify and overcome underlying causes of insomnia such as anxiety and stress.
Hypnotherapy is especially useful if your insomnia is caused by excessive emotional or mental arousal, where the mind simply cannot stop racing through different subjects and trains of thought. It also helps to re-educate the mind positively, because when you go to bed expecting a relaxing night and pleasant dreams, you are much more likely to achieve this.
