Hi, I recently completed the 6 weeks program + 1:1 coaching and it was life changing for me.
I heard of Martin through a friend who was doing the free course and I tried it myself. I had already done CBT-I, so most of what he shared was familiar to me.
The free course wasn’t enough for me, so I decided to enrol in the course + 1:1 coaching. I had already experienced the email exchanges, and I wanted something else.To your questions:
1) I was spending about an hour a day going through the course, then one week practicing the learnings.
2) This is a very personal choice, but if from a financial perspective this works for you, I’d recommend adding the 1:1 coaching.For me what made the difference, and the reason why today I am sleeping about 6.5 hours per day, was the 1:1 coaching sessions. I needed to unlock something that was rooted deep within me in my unconscious mind. It was all good to have all the knowledge and tools and practice, practice, practice…But I only started to sleep when one day I made a realisation in one of our 1:1 sessions. From that moment everything changed for me.
Every journey is different, and different tools will work for different people. But Martin can help you go deep into the root of the problem, into what is truly blocking you, and once you know that, once that’s on the table, then the tools, techniques and knowledge become secondary, because your body knows how to sleep and you now know what wasn’t allowing that.I wish you all the luck in your journey!
I forgot to ask if any of you had made progress on the arousal front. How are you currently managing it? Any pieces of advice for me? Thank you
I am currently going through exactly the same situation. I have now been barely sleeping for 2 weeks and I’m starting to feel quite desperate. I am taking medication for anxiety and every now and then I’m using sleeping pills to help me have some sleep. I am new to the program, starting today, so I am hoping I will get soon some ideas on how I can change what’s happening.
This post couldn’t have come to my life at a better time. I had my first encounter with insomnia over a year ago and it lasted about 7 months. Then I started to sleep and everything was sort of back to normal. 5 days ago I woke up in the middle of the night with what I now know was a panic attack. I couldn’t fall back to sleep that night. Then the next day I suffered more panic attacks during the day and wasn’t able to sleep at all that night. It has been like this ever since, and I’m seeing myself going down the rabbit hole. This post not only has given me hope, but also tips for me to try. Thank you so much for sharing!
