97: Episode 97 - INSOMNIA

I have struggled with insomnia, a common TMS equivalent, for a lifetime. It can be a lonely, scary place wracked with meaning, and can really pose a challenge. I get hundreds of emails a week, often people asking about insomnia as well as myriad other symptoms and conditions. It is a thread that often runs parallel to many other inquires, so I thought I would give it its own podcast! Today we discuss my story of insomnia as well as a concrete JournalSpeak-like approach to calming the brain and falling asleep. Join us - I think you'll get a lot out of this one even if insomnia is not your struggle. So many solutions arise from these conversations. XOXO, n.
