Insomnia

Hypnosis has been proven extremely effective in curing chronic insomnia.

   It is easy – it works – and it’s so much less expensive than over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs.

   Insomnia may be the result of worry, fears, and anxiety, causing interference of normally
functioning brain wave patterns for sleep. In order to fall asleep, your brain must go from a BETA
brain wave to an ALPHA brain wave. In the Alpha state everything becomes dreamy, visualizations are
clear, and your brain is ready to flip the sleep switch in your brain to allow you go from ALPHA to DELTA
and to THETA, where you fall into a deep, peaceful and healing sleep.
   Your conscious mind may be busy with worry, anxiety, fear, anger, emotional conflict, and
more. This makes it hard for the brain to let go conscious processing and rest. And some people
worry so much about not being able to sleep that they make it impossible to sleep.
Worrying about insomnia creates insomnia. You know what happens next – you worry during the
day about whether or not you will sleep that night. So, of course, you cannot sleep – and the next day you
worry twice as much and you find yourself in a vicious cycle of negative thinking. This only causes new
worry and anxiety and more sleepless nights.
   Your brain has become an expert at having insomnia. You need help to break this cycle once it’s in
full swing. Your subconscious no longer knows how to break the pattern. With the help of a professional
Hypnotherapist, you can change this destructive cycle. In order to sleep deeply, you will need to
teach your brain to go instantly into an alpha state. We will teach you how to use
subconscious triggers to eliminate worry and anxiety and sleep through the night.

What our clients are saying ...

  "I have always had difficulty sleeping, caused by anxiety. If I had troubles or worries in my
work or home life, it would be difficult for me to sleep. Earlier in my life this didn’t happen very often.
I didn’t suffer the cumulative effects of sleep deprivation and often I could catch up on my sleep on
the weekends.
   When I entered my forties my sleep problems accelerated and it seemed as if I only got
seven good hours of sleep on one or two days a week. Although sometimes I couldn’t fall asleep,
my usual pattern was to fall asleep between 11 pm and midnight, only to wake up at 4:30 am unable
to fall back asleep. By the time I went to see Bay Area Hypnosis I had been in this pattern for
about four years and it was taking a toll on me both physically and emotionally.
   I wasn't sure what hypnosis could do for me, but I had heard some positive reports, so I gave it a try.
I have to say that after the first visit I slept from 11:30am until 6:30am in the morning,
and for the following three days in a row. It does take effort on your own to maintain the benefits
of hypnosis between sessions. Bay Area Hypnosis taught me how to use self-hypnosis between sessions.
Hypnosis as different than I had imagined. Nothing is said that you don't recall later. External noises don't break the
trance. It is almost as though you submit to the trance and you yourself decide that you will come out
of it when the Hypnotherapist brings you out of it.
   It has been a year now and, although I sometimes still have sleep problems, I can concentrate on
getting myself to fall to sleep most of these times. I would have to say that hypnosis was very helpful
with my sleep problems and certainly had no negative side effects.

Thanks to Bay Area Hypnosis counsels and teaching, I can now sleep through the night;"

"...I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general."

"Bay Area Hypnotherapy has been a tremendous help in my life. I came to them seeking help because I was stressed, depressed, unmotivated, and fearful of life in general. I also needed spiritual guidance. Their support and genuine compassion held me up when I was really down, and the spiritual guidance helped me to navigate my way through some intense turbulence in my life. I am an M.D. by training, and with the techniques that I have learned from Bay Area Hypnotherapy and the guidance I received, I have to say that I am feeling much better now and more peaceful, with an improved outlook on life. Not only did they contribute to the positive change in my life, but taught me how to use hypnotherapy techniques so that I can do them on my own. I intend to continue going to Bay Area Hypnotherapy for continued healing. I am very grateful that I found such compassionate and supportive therapists."

"... I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself."

"I am so grateful to have met Lynn. I go into deep hypnosis and I feel heard, expressed and witnessed in our sessions. The index cards/ home assignments have gotten into my psyche and I am improving every day and being compassionate with myself. Lynn is always so great at communicating with me and she is very easy to talk to. She's also very open minded and wise and she makes me feel very comfortable. It's refreshing to have sessions with her and she helps me see the positives in my life's commotion. Lynn is open to making my sessions about what I want to focus and work on. I feel a difference after seeing her week after week."
