Insomnia and sleep problems can be attributable to stress, worry,
loss, depression and a number of underlying reasons. Our physical and
mental capacities require sleep to re-energise and relax; lack of sleep,
or problematic sleep can have significant impact on our health and general
well being. This in turn develops into a further worry about our lack
of sleep and develops into a vicious cycle.
From early childhood
our mind develops a program for us to 'know' when we need to sleep.
Occasionally this program is thrown out of its accepted 'body clock'
schedule. A classic example of this is jet lag where we move to a different
time zone where the hours of our bedtime may be some four hours out.
This confuses our body clock mechanism and it sometimes takes a couple
of days for our body clock program to adjust.
Hypnotherapy works in communicating with the body clock mechanism in
your mind to program your sleep patterns back to their normal acceptable
times and periods.
The underlying
reasons for lack of sleep I mentioned earlier of course may be playing
their part in the situation and it is also this area that we identify
to alleviate any stress or worry that may be continuing or impacting the
problem. Hypnotherapy is applied to bring relief and understanding to
these areas in a very relaxing and comforting way allowing you to relax
and enjoy deep enjoyable sleep every night.
Results can be obtained
from one single session, however, I normally suggest that two to three
sessions are required depending on each individuals requirements. In
some cases where underlying issues may be the reasons for worry, stress
and hence lack of sleep then these areas would need to be addressed
effectively to ensure comprehensive and lasting progress is made.
