Rediscover Restful Sleep

​Hypnotherapy addresses insomnia by calming the nervous system, rewiring negative sleep associations, and resolving emotional stressors. It works as a complementary treatment to improve sleep hygiene and retrain the brain for restful, rejuvenating sleep. This non-invasive approach offers a scientifically supported path to overcoming chronic sleeplessness.

 

​Through hypnotherapy you can:

• Calm your mind and reduce sleep-related anxiety.

• Reprogram your mind for better sleep habits.

• Address underlying stressors and emotional blocks.

• Wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

How Hypnotherapy Works for Insomnia

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for addressing insomnia by working with the subconscious mind to break the cycle of sleeplessness and restore natural sleep patterns. Here’s how it works:

1. Calming the Nervous System

Insomnia is often linked to an overactive sympathetic nervous system, which keeps the body in a state of heightened alertness (the "fight or flight" mode). Hypnosis activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing stress hormones like cortisol. This physiological shift prepares the body for restful sleep.

2. Rewiring Sleep Associations

Chronic insomnia can create negative associations with sleep, such as fear of lying awake or frustration about not falling asleep. Hypnotherapy replaces these negative associations with positive ones, helping the subconscious mind associate bedtime with relaxation and ease.

3. Addressing Underlying Emotional Triggers

Insomnia often stems from unresolved stress, anxiety, or trauma. During hypnosis, the therapist guides the client to identify and release these emotional triggers, reducing their impact on sleep. This can alleviate the racing thoughts and heightened emotions that keep individuals awake.

4. Training the Brain for Relaxation

Studies using brain imaging have shown that hypnosis can increase slow-wave activity in the brain, associated with deep relaxation. This encourages the brain to enter a state conducive to sleep, similar to the stages of non-REM (deep) sleep.

5. Breaking the Cycle of Hyperarousal

Hyperarousal, a common feature of insomnia, involves an overactive mind and body, even when physically tired. Hypnotherapy interrupts this cycle by guiding clients into a trance-like state that mimics the relaxation necessary for sleep. Over time, this retrains the brain to transition more easily into sleep.

6. Enhancing Sleep Hygiene through Subconscious Suggestions

Hypnosis reinforces healthy sleep behaviors, such as establishing a bedtime routine, avoiding stimulants, and creating a calm sleep environment. By embedding these habits into the subconscious, hypnotherapy ensures they are effortlessly followed.

​

Scientific Evidence for Hypnosis and Insomnia

Research has demonstrated that hypnosis can significantly improve sleep quality and duration. A study published in Sleep (2014) found that hypnosis increases slow-wave sleep (SWS), the restorative phase of deep sleep critical for physical and mental recovery. Another study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine (2007) highlighted hypnosis as an effective intervention for insomnia, especially in reducing nighttime awakenings.

It effected my life on all levels: my job, my relationships. I was constantly tired and on edge. I had 5 sessions with Kristin and the anchor she set, lets me fall asleep within minutes.
