Sleep Issues
Lisa Sanfilippo
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MSc, UKCP, MBACP, SEP in progress
Sleep is a building block of our mental and physical health- and when it is hard to get to sleep, stay asleep or have deep restful sleep, our our minds and bodies can go into shutdown, panic or distress. I've dedicated a large part of my professional life to understanding what makes for healthy sleep and how to heal broken or interrupted sleep. You can find the two books I've published by searching 'Lisa Sanfilippo and Sleep Recovery' which you can find on Amazon and at good book shops. I often work with people primarily on their sleep, and we find that this can change dramatically in a few weeks, and that longer term deep change can involve understanding physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of ourselves. When we bring balance back in these areas, we start to sleep better and feel more alive, alert and happier. I am happy to work with people from all age groups, and I have a keen understanding of how our life stage affects our sleep, including post-50, menopause/perimenopause.

Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Sleep is a fundamental aspect of our health and often a symptom of other issues. It is essential for all healing, and together we find the barriers and move toward a more restful and healing space.

Anna Brooker
Therapist, Advanced Level 3 BWRT Therapist, Award Winning Women's Health Coach, Life Coach
Poor sleep and anxiety feed each other. A racing mind keeps you awake or wakes you at 3am, and being exhausted makes everything feel more stressful the next day. I use BWRT® to work with the automatic worry and alertness that switch on when you try to rest. I offer a free 15-minute consultation. Send me a message using the enquiry form and I'll get back to you.. As a certified health coach, I also look at the daily habits, stress levels and hormonal changes, such as perimenopause, that can affect sleep. If your sleep problems are persistent or severe, I can support a conversation with your GP too, so any medical causes can be ruled out. Book a free 15 minute consultation so we can talk about whether BWRT is right for you.
