Sleep problems often arise not on their own, but as a sign of overload. A person may be able to cope for long periods during the day, but at night, the psyche continues to process anxiety, conflict, uncertainty, and fatigue.
If your sleep has become shallow, you have difficulty falling asleep, or you wake up feeling tense, it's helpful to look not only at your sleep routine but also at the underlying emotional issues. Therapy can safely address what's keeping you from relaxing.
A psychologist helps you notice recurring thoughts, reduce your level of internal stress, and develop more sustainable recovery strategies.
