Welcome to the forum! I am happy to hear you have started counseling to help address your sleep issues. Are you going through a course of CBT-I with your counselor? It sounds as though you would benefit from CBT-I techniques because they help address the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia.
I would also add that waking during the night is not unusual — but if you are finding it hard to fall back to sleep, there are techniques you can implement to improve this and help you fall back to sleep when you wake during the night.
