Chronic Insomnia Hurts
How long has it been since you’ve had consistent, restful sleep? Has it been a couple of days? Weeks? Months? YEARS?
Chronic insomnia is an insidious condition that effects every aspect of life. Going even a few days without restful sleep is mentally and physically depleting.
It hurts.
THE Rest ReSET
What if your chronic insomnia is rooted in subconscious fears and repressed emotions that are creating a negative feedback loop in your brain? Instead of processing your repressed emotions your brain “protects” you by sending danger signals. You become stuck in a danger/hyper-alert state. Your nervous system is revved up, which creates sleep problems.
The Rest ReSET is a tool that will give you a structured way to safely release the buried emotions which may be at the root of your insomnia.
