Life is not for the faint of heart and significant stress may lead to heightened levels of anxiety or depression, causing us to feel: isolated, experience increased sadness and worry, co-dependent behaviors, body image issues and/or disordered eating patterns, ruminating thoughts, sleep issues, fear of the unknown, or even feelings of imposter syndrome.
Are you experiencing challenges with feeling stuck and uncertain of your future? Do you often feel overwhelmed in achieving your desired goals? Are you finding yourself possibly taking the path of most resistance? Do you feel like you have been struggling through your journey alone? You are a high performer with perfectionism tendencies however, it feels like the more you try, the more difficult it is to achieve acceptance, healing and forgiveness. Feeling overwhelmed can often create a sense of helplessness and a sense of being out of control.

Have you been worried, sad, stressed, or even facing daily challenges that seem unbearable to manage? Trying to manage our emotions can be difficult, and at times, our mind and body are trying to warn us to stop and take some time to focus on ourselves, but we ignore it. I’ve experienced this myself and am still learning new ways to cope. These are common feelings that most of us experience when we are struggling to heal and regulate our thoughts and emotions due to life stressors. I understand it can be scary to take that leap in seeking help, but you’ve already accomplished the first step of browsing for resources, which is great!

You feel like you struggle to stay the course, and yet life continues to shift and change. You are searching for higher ground, but often feel like you are sinking. No matter how hard you dig in, you may have an underlying feeling of fear or uneasiness. Regardless of what you are going through, you put on a mask that speaks differently than how you feel. Some days you walk through the pain, and look for the sunshine, while other days it can feel overcast. Motivation to continue responsibilities is difficult. Self- care is an unfamiliar concept that applies to others, but not for you. Walking through each day feels redundant.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
