      Hi Mona
      Sometimes trying too hard can lead to more problems, especially when it comes to a problem like sleep where nobody ever has any control over. Too many efforts led to being restless all the time and over monitoring of results, which can make the insomnia worse. I remembered too when I signed up with Martin, I was also seeing several other therapists at the same time, both online and in person. But nothing improved, so I cancelled them all, gave up all efforts to improve and eventually got better because I was trying so much less. I slowly abandoned the struggle and recounciled with myself. This led to a place of inner peace. Do nothing except going to bed at regular times to slowly regain your confidence in sleeping naturally again is more than sufficient in many cases of insomnia. Insomnia by itself isn’t a problem, the fact that you had this for so long and yet are still able to come here, striving to seek answers, all and by whole, still living to this day is a great testament to this undeniable fact. Insomnia isn’t the problem, thinking that it is a problem becomes the problem. Makes any sense? Best wishes to you and good luck!
