Insomnia

Hypnosis is a completely natural state of mind, like sleep, except for the fact that the senses become more alert and heightened. Hypnosis alters the state of consciousness in such a way that the analytical left-hand side of the brain is distracted or bypassed, while the more creative right-hand side is invited out to be more alert and aware. The conscious mind is diverted or distracted whilst the subconscious mind is woken up.

Hypnotherapy can be used to treat insomnia by working on positively changing the subconscious mind, which is where many of the root causes of insomnia lie. By targeting the subconscious mind, stress, negative thinking patterns, and anxiety can be relieved which are some of the main causes of insomnia.

Craniosacral Therapy is another great way to treat insomnia.

Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with. Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch.

With craniosacral therapy, tensions and other causes of insomnia can be relieved by improving the performance of the central nervous system and treating issues that hinder it. It can help get rid of tightness, pain, and related issues that lead to insomnia.

For people with insomnia, irrational thoughts may lead to difficulty with sleep. For example, former experiences of insomnia may lead to worry about falling or staying asleep. This can become a disruptive pattern that can be difficult to break. Cognitive restructuring begins to break this cycle through identifying, challenging, and altering the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to insomnia. The therapist assists with identification of these disturbing thoughts and objective evaluation.
