Therapy for Insomnia

You Just Want to Scream

It’s 7 AM. Your alarm goes off, but you’ve been awake for hours—wide awake.

Each night, it’s the same thing. Tossing, turning, staring at the clock. Minutes turn into hours. It’s torture to feel bone-tired in your whole body but be utterly unable to sleep.

You are exhausted, frustrated, tired.

Will This Ever End?

Despite what you’ve tried—lavender pillow spray, Enya songs, counting sheep, over-the-counter or prescription “Z” drugs—you can’t sleep.

When you’re able to fitfully dose off, you don’t wake feeling rested.

Droopy eyelids, difficulty concentrating at work, irritability, fatigue.

It seems like this will go on forever.

There’s Hope

You might be surprised to learn that there is a type of therapy that can effectively treat insomnia. It may sound a bit counterintuitive – talking to a shrink is going to help me get restful, deep sleep? Absolutely.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first line of treatment, the “gold standard” for insomnia.

How Does It Work?

CBT-I is a structured treatment that addresses the underlying causes of insomnia.

Unlike sleep medications, which act as a band-aid, this type of therapy treats the root of sleep problems.

We will work together to identify behaviors and thoughts that keep you from sleeping well.

You’ll learn ways to replace those old thoughts and behaviors with new habits that will promote sound sleep.

An Effective Treatment

CBT-I is an effective treatment for chronic sleep problems.

In many cases, folks experience improved sleep within several weeks.

And the results they experience are lasting.
