ℹ️🌿 INSOMNIA AS A TRAUMA RESPONSE |

Lately, I have been having a hard time sleeping. I have always struggled with sleep; falling asleep and staying asleep are both difficult. Once it starts getting dark, I start getting anxious. I watch the windows and am too aware that it’s dark outside and dark = sleep (eventually).

I look into the dark outside and see things that I don’t want to-faces, places, memories, images. And somehow, when it’s dark, these things seem brighter, more easily defined by my eyes and brain.

I try to keep busy. I feel tired after a day of pretending to be normal, trying to keep up the rhythm of a normal life, and taking care of everyone around me. Being tired, even exhausted, both physically and mentally aren’t the problem when it comes to sleep. I am tired, exhausted, spent (whatever term you’d like to use) by the end of the day and I desperately want to sleep.

For the past nearly 5 years, I've been presenting and speaking about Mediumship and the access to it via hypnosis. And I had shared some EEG's done on popular mediums.

It was my first presentation at the Michigan International Hypnsosis Conference.

As well as my first presentation at HypnoThoughts Live.

Today I am encouraged to find this podcast episode via my favorite podcast, Diary of a Ceo with guest and Neuro Scientist Tara Swart.
