How Summer let go of trying to control her sleep, her thoughts, and her feelings — and regained control over her life (#58)
Tuesday, 30 April, 2024
Summer's struggle with sleep was taking over her life. No matter what she did to try to fix her sleep, nothing seemed to work. The more she tried to control sleep, the more difficult it became. When Summer stopped trying to make sleep happen and started to allow sleep-related thoughts and feelings to be present without judgement, things started to improve. She practiced being kinder to herself and refocused her attention on doing things that mattered — regardless of how she slept and regardless of the thoughts or feelings that were present. As she did this, Summer started to get her life back from insomnia. Her story shows that sometimes, giving up control is the best way to get it back. Watch/listen to this episode
