Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Lisa Sanfilippo
Therapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP
Sleep is a building block of our mental and physical health- and when it is hard to get to sleep, stay asleep or have deep restful sleep, our our minds and bodies can go into shutdown, panic or distress. I've dedicated a large part of my professional life to understanding what makes for healthy sleep and how to heal broken or interrupted sleep. You can find the two books I've published by searching 'Lisa Sanfilippo and Sleep Recovery' which you can find on Amazon and at good book shops. I often work with people primarily on their sleep, and we find that this can change dramatically in a few weeks, and that longer term deep change can involve understanding physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves. When we bring balance back in these areas, we start to sleep better and feel more alive, alert and happier. I am happy to work with people from all age groups, and I have a keen understanding of how our life stage affects our sleep, including post-50, menopause/perimenopause.

Dr Anna Dako
Counsellor/Therapist, AHPP, RSME/T, UKSMDT
Sleep is the most important time for our body-minds to recover and rejuvenate. Proper, deep sleep is also a reflection of a healthy relationship between the day and the night time patterns. Somatic experiencing teaches us about how much our over-working minds need processing, yet embodied processing does not often mean over exercising or attending to other extreme physical engagement. Observing the inner workings of the body systems is an important step in learning how to listen to your bodily needs, and somatic therapy sessions are just the right tool for growing that inner understanding of pacing and processing that restores the balance of productivity and rest. Working on bodily attitudes is where I normally begin. We can discuss your specific needs during a consultation session, and build a plan for your first block of sessions as we speak.
