How Sleep Therapy Can Supercharge Client Outcomes | E51

What if the key to helping your therapy clients with anxiety, depression, or ADHD might actually be sleep? In this episode of Love, Happiness, and Success for Therapists, I’m diving deep into the connection between sleep and mental health and the power of sleep therapy with the brilliant Dr. Michelle Okun, an expert in sleep psychology. We break down the incredible science behind how sleep affects everything from mood and memory to stress and physical health—and how therapists like us can integrate sleep awareness into our practice to achieve better, faster outcomes for our clients.
