Sleep well

Sleep is something that is discussed in every consultation in the therapy room.

Sleep is your internal therapy.. specifically your rem sleep. During this phase, when you dream, your brain is doing all it’s filing and processing. Imagine the cleaners coming in and tidying up, throwing out the rubbish and getting you ready for the next day. If you have enough quality sleep, you will wake up refreshed ready to face the day using the logical part of your mind.

If you don’t sleep well, you can wake up tired, groggy, emotional, forgetful, more likely to make poor and impulsive decisions. If this is a regular occurrence you can actually lower immunity and increase the risk of poor heart health, diabetes and weight gain.

The NHS says that the leading cause of insomnia is stress and/or anxiety. Hypnotherapy is very effective in reducing stress and anxiety and promoting a good night’s sleep.
