Do you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night? Perhaps you struggle to settle down for a decent night’s sleep? Do you find it difficult to sleep as work troubles start to go through your mind?
If the answers to any (or all) of these questions is a resounding ‘yes’ then Solution Focused Hypnotherapy may be helpful for you!
A course of sessions, each lasting an hour, is designed to help ease insomnia and help clients have a more restful night’s sleep.
One of the first things that my clients’ comment on is an improved sleep quality. I have worked with a number of people who may have had issues with sleep management and many clients present with other issues but when we improve sleep problems can seem so much smaller.
“All of us have a metaphorical stress bucket that can easily fill”. “The more stress we experience, the bigger the load we carry, which can have a negative impact on our emotional wellbeing and our ability to sleep properly.
“When you start to sleep, your brain enters a specific state of Rapid Eye Movement, which is often referred to as REM. In very simple terms, this state often allows us to empty our ‘stress buckets’, but, if there is too much in your ‘bucket’, you may find yourself waking up and being unable to go back to sleep!”
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by encouraging more positive thinking so reducing the stress levels someone may be experiencing through problems at work or relationship-based issues.
Each session lasts for an hour and contains around 20 minutes of hypnosis which encourages Rapid Eye Movement to occur for the client – so allowing their ‘stress bucket’ levels to drop. In turn, over a period of time, the client should start to see their sleep patterns improve.
“I always provide an initial consultation and Relaxation CD”. “The CD can make a real difference because you can listen to it before you go to sleep, so it can help you to relax and let go of tension.
“The initial consultation provides a full explanation of how the therapy works and how it can improve our sleep patterns and improve other aspects of our life.”
