Sleep Treatment with CBT and Clinical Hypnosis

 

Understanding Sleep Difficulties Sleep problems affect one in three people, with insomnia being one of the most common issues impacting mental and physical wellbeing. Whether you struggle to fall asleep, wake frequently during the night, or find yourself lying awake worrying about sleep itself, these difficulties can create a destructive cycle that affects every aspect of your life.

The Impact of Sleep Deprivation Poor sleep doesn't just leave you tired—it fundamentally affects how you function. Sleep deprivation leads to difficulties with concentration, emotional regulation, weight management, and increased anxiety. When your body lacks restorative sleep, everyday tasks become exhausting, reactions slow, and stress management becomes significantly more challenging.

Our Evidence-Based Approach The American Psychological Association's 2024 research confirms that clinical hypnosis has clear benefits in psychotherapy, with particular effectiveness for sleep disorders. When combined with CBT's proven cognitive techniques, this integrated approach addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of sleep difficulties.
