Abstract Mkid 64

The basic premise of this article is that sleep disrupting behaviors exist for some adaptive purpose and people will logically resist giving up their particular behavior, even when it causes them some problem, unless convinced that they can still get their needs met some other way. That is, they don’t want to give up an existing choice until a better choice is insured. Hypnosis is an excellent modality to help clients use their own active intention to transform psychologically and behaviorally influenced sleep disrupting behaviors into alternative behaviors that will more efficiently meet their needs.
