Sleep Disorder
HealthWise Hypnosis
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy works amazingly well for sleep issues. And although sleep disorders and insomnia can be caused by physical or behavioral reasons, experts agree that the leading source of sleep disorders is stress. This can include anxiety, worry, grief, anger, fear or sadness.
The inability to sleep, when caused by stress, is often experienced as inner thoughts and feelings playing out in the mind repetitively. Noise from a racing mind, and being unable to just switch the thoughts off, are common complaints. This is where hypnosis can be the most beneficial. My clients with chronic insomnia have experienced incredible change quickly, with the ability to sleep deeply once again.

Sleep Disorder
Dr. Jeffrey Kehoe
Counselor/Therapist, ND, MSAOM, L.Ac, BCB
If we do not get adequate sleep, we do not allow our body time to repair and recover. If there is sleep disruption that is not addressed, we are limiting the success of our treatment goals especially as it relates to mental health. Biofeedback and acupuncture are particularly effective in breaking these cycles with regular practice and treatment. However, it is also important to address nutrition, sleep hygiene, and other psychological and socioeconomic factors that may be playing a role in disrupted sleep patterns.

Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of the Mayo Clinic: “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems. To identify how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. This type of therapy can help you control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.” Specific CBT-I techniques include the following:
Sleep Control: Removing factors that condition the mind to resist sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Reducing the time spent in bed to increase the mind-body willingness to sleep the following night. Once sleep has improved, the time in bed is gradually increased.
Sleep Hygiene: Changing basic lifestyle habits that influence sleep, such as smoking or drinking too much caffeine late in the day, drinking too much alcohol, or not getting regular exercise.
Relaxation Training: Calming the mind and body using meditation, imagery, and muscle relaxation.

Sleep Disorder
Dan Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
We help people with insomnia overcome the thoughts and behaviors that keep them awake at night, including anxiety or worries, which are often experienced as “my brain won’t shut off." Research has shown that chronic problems with sleep can lead to symptoms of depression and worsen anxiety as well as exacerbate medical issues. Drs. Kessler has Diplomate status in behavioral sleep medicine (DBSM), specialized training in treating insomnia with CBT-I, which is a non-medication approach that has been shown to be effective in treating insomnia in over 80% of cases.
CBT-I: Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) helps people change their thoughts and behaviors about sleep. CBT-I is a short-term, evidence-based treatment that can help people with insomnia improve their sleep quality and get more restful sleep. In many cases it can also help you get more sleep.
CBT-I typically involves multiple components. You will work with your therapist on each of these as needed, individualized to your sleep issues, with most people seeing significant improvement in 3 to 6 visits.
