Find Solutions for Insomnia
Sleep anxiety/Insomnia refers to the apprehension experienced when trying to fall asleep or simply staying awake by over worrying or over thinking. This feeling can sometimes extend beyond simply worrying, it may encompass fears related to the act of sleeping or the inability to remain asleep. Certain conditions have the potential to develop into anxiety disorders or phobias.
This fear is classified as an anxiety disorder, while general sleep anxiety is considered a form of performance anxiety. Individuals suffering insomnia, face a persistent fear that impedes their ability to fall asleep, even when feeling tired.
The negative impacts of inadequate sleep not only pose risks to one's physical health over time, but can also lead to the onset of different mental health disorders. If you are grappling with sleep anxiety or insomnia, hypnotherapy can be a beneficial method to address and overcome these challenges.
Hypnosis is particularly beneficial in addressing anxiety related to sleep by assisting individuals in calming their minds and releasing the thoughts that disrupt their ability to sleep. It targets and alleviates the negative symptoms and triggers that interfere with one's ability to fall asleep. Contact Mary to have a chat to discover what type of insomnia you have.

How Psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy Treat Insomnia
Lack of sleep can make you anxious about sleeping, but parasomnia takes it to another level by causing extreme fear and anxiety about going to bed. It goes beyond just worrying about not getting enough sleep or waking up in the middle of the night.
People with parasomnia may stay awake for hours because they are too scared to fall asleep. Fortunately, hypnotherapy can help treat different fears. Sleep hypnosis, for example, is a way to use hypnotherapy to solve sleep issues. Some people wrongly think that sleep hypnosis causes you to fall asleep while being hypnotized.
Sleep hypnosis actually helps in transforming the negative thoughts or habits linked to sleep. By addressing the root causes of your sleep-related anxiety and eliminating triggers that contribute to your symptoms, hypnotherapy can assist you in achieving your sleep goals effectively over time.
After finishing hypnotherapy, the patient will feel relaxed and calm because they have started the journey to solving their sleep anxiety. Contact Mary to start your journey to falling asleep.
