“You Don’t Have to Heal Everything to Sleep Again” — Liz’s Story | Ep 55

Mind. Body. Sleep.®

I had such a lovely time sitting down with Liz, a psychotherapist and alum of the Mind. Body. Sleep. mentorship.
Not only did Liz make it through insomnia herself, but she stayed active in the community to support others still on their way.
Like so many of us, she tried everything:

• Impeccable sleep hygiene
• CBT-I
• Sleep meds

But the more she tried, the more fear crept in.
Not just a fear of not sleeping, but a fear of fear itself.
Which is such a common part of this journey.
This episode is filled with heart and insight. A few standout moments:
“Not only was I afraid of not sleeping, I was afraid of fear.”
“You don’t have to heal everything to sleep again.”
“Even a little bit of self-compassion is powerful.”
If your nervous system feels stuck in high gear, or you’ve lost trust with your body, Liz’s story will help you feel so much less alone.
Enjoy! 🧡
