Case Study
Chronic Insomnia Linked to Racing Thoughts
Presenting concern
An overactive mind at night, worry about not sleeping, and a sleep routine that had become inconsistent as a result.
Approach
CBT-I principles to rebuild a consistent sleep routine and address anxious thoughts about sleep, combined with hypnotherapy-based relaxation technique for use at bedtime.
Outcome
The client reported falling asleep more easily and with fewer night wakings within a few weeks, with continued improvement through the rest of the structured course.

Where sessions take place
In person at our clinics in Vashi and CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai, or online. Some hypnotherapy and Ego State work is better suited to in-person sessions; this is discussed with you before you begin. See session fees and common questions.
Before you begin
- If you are taking medication or are under the care of a doctor or psychiatrist, mention it at your first session.
- Sessions are not an emergency service. If you are in crisis or at risk of harm, contact your nearest emergency services directly.
