Sleep is an essential component of our daily lives and overall well-being.
Within the restorative cycles of sleep, the body is able to rest, refresh, recover, and continue to function normally. Unfortunately, in this day and age, many adults fail to get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep each night. In addition, sleep quality is often decreased by excessive stress or tension experienced during waking hours. A number of treatments exist to assist one to sleep better, but few work as well as hypnosis, a method proven to help you consistently experience deeper, better quality sleep!
Often misunderstood, hypnosis is a safe & effective way to create personal change. During hypnosis one experiences deep relaxation that results in a change in brain wave activity. This allows the subconscious to become receptive to suggestions. Hypnotic techniques also allow one to work through the deeper emotional factors causing sleep disruption. Any person who has felt themselves drifting away or daydreaming has experienced a self-induced hypnotic trance and it is very natural.
The hypnotic state can be achieved by the suggestions of a trained hypnotherapist. Hypnosis effectively allows the client to help themselves live in a more desirable way. For instance, if an individual is unable to sleep well at night, a hypnotherapist is able to assist them by various techniques or methods so that the individual can achieve their sleep goals.
When choosing a Clinical Hypnotherapist be sure to find someone with State Licensed Training and someone who belongs to national organizations such as the ACHE. A qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist works to keep their continuing education up yearly, so be sure to ask if they do. Avoid anyone who claims they can solve your issue in one session, or makes unbelievable guarantees. It typically takes 3 to 12 sessions to achieve your sleep goals. Learning self hypnosis is also recommended.
When suffering from insomnia or other sleep related disorders, the patters of sleep disturbances can become embedded in your subconscious.
Hypnosis aims to figure out the cause of these psychological disturbances. Once the cause is found, the hypnotherapist is able to work with you to interrupt the old thinking patterns and create new programming that supports your goals.
We sleep better when we are able to relax, thus an important part of hypnotherapy for the treatment of sleep disorders involves figuring out why the individual is unable to relax. Often, the inability to relax is related to particular set of negative thoughts that the individual believes to be true which generate anxiety and doubt, i.e., “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t deserve the good things I have.” The hypnotherapist seeks to identify these negative thoughts and crafts suggestions which reframe the individuals way of thinking in a more positive, self-affirming way.
In addition, the hypnotherapist will suggest relaxation techniques to practice when finding it difficult to sleep. For some people, physical or mental tension can make sleeping difficult. A hypnotherapist may use relaxation techniques, such as progressive muscle relaxation to help reduce tension. Sessions help individuals interrupt old patterns and create new ones. This in turn changes their mind and creates more well being overall.
