Ask Daniel #39: To Lea, Jay, Shawn, Richard, Logan and Alina
Lea is sleeping like when she was a child by trying to keep her eyes open! Jay asks about REM sleep. Shawn is having super fragmented sleep with vivid dreams, hypnic jerks and tinnitus, whats going on? Richard stopped taking medications and did really well a few weeks into a CBTi course. Now it’s the last week and things have nosedived. What to do? Logan is off medications and sleeping more, but feeling super tired. And that’s expected! Alina shares her thoughts on automatic thoughts, those that pop up out of nowhere and the rational ones, the ones we chose to think. She’s noticed that doing mind work seems to neutralize the automatic thoughts and wonders if I believe this is possible. The answer – absolutely!
