A news item published last week in the popular press announced that more and more people were being prescribed sleeping pills.  This is a deeply worrying trend, as these types of drug can tend to be addictive and, unless the medication is accompanied by a course of treatment which tackles the underlying reasons for insomnia, then there is likely to be a dependency on the sleeping tablet.

Hypnotherapy is really effective at helping to establish good quality sleep patterns – I know this, as most of my clients who do not even present with sleep problems, report to having much better sleep after a course of hypnosis.

The therapy itself is extremely relaxing, and with each client that I see, I prepare an individual CD which they can then use before bedtime to help them turn off that ‘chattering’ part of their mind, and to allow them to slip into a state of deep relaxation.  We can also look at their ‘sleep hygiene’, and this addresses their diet, lifestyle and their general bedtime routine, in order to flag up possible causes of their insomnia.  In addition, if the client is going through a particularly stressful time, we can look at ways which will help deal with this stress, so that – come night time – these worries and anxieties can be filed away, allowing a healthy, natural sleep to be enjoyed.

If you would like to try a natural, healthy and lasting way to deal with insomnia, please contact me on 01449 780352 or 0781 7158429, or email me at wendy@wendychalk.co.uk.
