Trouble sleeping?

According to the NHS, stress and anxiety is the leading course of insomnia. Sleep disorders do exist too, but are less common. In the therapy room, I often see clients who have already tried various sleep hygiene methods yet find themselves wide awake the second they get into bed. As our brains pattern match, previous experience tells us that we struggle to sleep, therefore becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. If we think it’s going to happen, it probably will!

During a solution focused hypnotherapy session, we focus on the changes we could make during waking hours that would help to increase feel good chemicals, reduce stress chemicals and change negative thinking patterns. We also train your brain to relax using hypnotic language patterns, continued at home with a recording to listen to at bedtime or in the middle of the night if required. Very soon clients report feeling more relaxed, less stressed and therefore having a restorative night’s sleep.
