Hypnotherapy For Sleep (And 3am Wake-ups)

For the three a.m. wake-up. For the night you can’t fall asleep no matter how tired you are. For the hot, wired feeling that arrives between two and four in the morning and won’t leave.This is a guided hypnotherapy session for perimenopausal sleep disruption. We use a slow breathing pattern — the 4-7-8 technique, with a gentle breath hold — and we travel together to a walled garden at twilight, somewhere your nervous system can put down the watch for the night. The long exhale is the dominant signal of safety in the human body, and we spend most of the session there.Use this at bedtime. You can also use it if you wake in the night — you don’t have to start it from the beginning, you can come back to the imagery directly, the garden remembers you. Falling asleep partway through is fine. It’s often the point.
