Insomnia
No sleep again last night.
You lay there, looking at the clock, the ceiling, the clock again.
The frustration and anxiety mounted to the point of rage and then defeat.
No matter how you try, no matter how long you lay there, you just cannot get to sleep.
Sleep is elusive.
If I could just turn my thoughts off!
Each tick of the clock is a reminder of time slipping away.
Memories, regrets, an unfinished To Do list.
You know you shouldn’t think about these things right now, but you just can’t stop.
You’ve tried everything.
Over-the-counter and prescription drugs, gummies, smart watches, sleep apps, naps, trying to catch up by sleeping in.
Sometimes, there’s temporary relief, but nothing has worked in a lasting way.
You. Want. To. Pull. Your. Hair. OUT!
Why can’t I get to sleep?!
Maybe you’re working the night shift.
Or you have ADHD, and you’re stuck in the habit of bedtime procrastination.
New partner, new baby, a big move, job loss, the death of a loved one: Each of these is significantly disruptive.
Even the good stuff can be destabilizing, leaving you tucked in bed, eyes wide open, causing more stress and exhaustion.
You’re cranky and snapping at the ones you care about the most.
You drag yourself to work; your brain is foggy, and you’re starting to miss deadlines.
It’s starting to feel hopeless and depressing.
You need a long-term, proven solution, not just another quick fix!
Together we will address the underlying causes of your sleepless nights using the most effective techniques in sleep science.
With the use of therapeutic approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), EMDR, and clinical hypnosis, you will learn concrete tools to manage your thoughts, emotions, and anxiety and establish healthy sleep habits.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American College of Physicians, and the National Institutes of Health recommend CBT-I as a first-line treatment.
CBT-I is a brief therapy that is non-invasive, non-pharmacological, and is backed by extensive scientific research demonstrating significant improvements in:
- reducing the time it takes to fall asleep
- increasing your total sleep time
- sleep efficiency
- reducing middle-of-the-night wakefulness
- increasing daytime functioning, including mood, cognitive performance, and overall quality of life
But I’m too scared to fall asleep!
The dreams you’ve been having are distressing. The nightmares are so real. You wake up in a sweat, racked by fear, anxiety, or terror. And sometimes you wake up crying or nauseous.
You dread going back to sleep. But you need rest!
The good news is CBT-I, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and clinical hypnosis are effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of nightmares linked to stress, anxiety, phobias, and traumatic experiences.
