Insomnia is the difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. But many people who don’t have insomnia (sleeplessness at least three days a week for at least three months) may still have sleep issues. Lack of sleep affects people in their everyday lives and can be detrimental to their physical and mental health.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions include cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strategies depending on each person’s individual needs. A therapist may examine a person’s thought patterns related to sleep. Are there unhelpful thoughts that are inhibiting the ability to go to sleep? Therapists and counselors also may use behavioral tactics, such as stimulus control or establishing bedtime routines. Additionally, if the insomnia is related to a trauma disorder, the therapist may attempt to help the person process the emotions and concerns related to the trauma.

It’s all supposed to be “natural” and happy...wanting to have a baby, trying to have a baby, actually having a baby. We aren’t “good parents” or we are “failures” if things don’t happen the way they did for our cousin, our neighbor, the person who shares your office at work. “I shouldn’t be feeling this way” and “nobody else feels like this” weigh heavily on your exhausted and hyperemotional...
