Insomnia and Sleep

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be a highly effective approach for addressing sleep problems and insomnia, especially when the root causes are related to stress, anxiety, or habitual thought patterns. Here's how it works and why it can help:

  • Solution Focused Hypnotherapy focuses on calming the mind by shifting attention away from problems and toward solutions

  • Anxiety and stress are leading causes of insomnia. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy reduces the "fight or flight" response and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s rest-and-digest mode), helping you to relax naturally

  • Hypnosis sessions guide you into a natural, trance-like state—similar to the relaxed brain state you enter before falling asleep

  • This trains your mind and body to relax, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep over time.

​

Rapid Eye Movement (REM - dream sleep) sleep is how we process stress. When you’re anxious, you may use up your REM quota too quickly in the night—causing you to wake up.

By reducing stress in waking life and through trance work, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy helps balance REM sleep, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.
