It’s 3am and you’re wide awake.
Not because anything’s wrong right now, but because your brain just won’t let it go.
Sound familiar?
Here’s why that happens, you have a part of your brain called the amygdala and its only job is to keep you safe, abit like a smoke alarm.
When life gets hard with stress, worry, not feeling good enough etc, it goes into overdrive and sets off the alarm, flooding your body with cortisol. This false alarm system can start to keep you on high alert, even when there’s nothing to fight, and no smoke - that’s not anxiety, that’s your brain doing exactly what it was built to do but sadly, it’s wired itself wrongly and doesn’t know when to stop.
Solution focused hypnotherapy works with your brain’s natural ability to rewire itself with neuroplasticity giving you the tools to fix and overcome this problem.
During hypnosis your brain shifts into a deeply relaxed state where it’s incredibly receptive to change, essentially giving your amygdala permission to switch off.
Better sleep comes first and then the cortisol starts to settle and that constant background noise in your head slowly goes quiet.
You can then sleep peacefully and feel refreshed once more
