Hyperarousal and the Expectation Effect | Ep 26

4/4/2024
This week I’m talking all about hyperarousal and the Expectation Effect. Do you ever find yourself thinking things like: “I understand all of this logically, so why am I still not sleeping?” “I didn’t go to bed until I was sleepy, but then I still didn’t sleep. Why is that?” “I normally sleep well on the weekends, but this week I didn’t. What’s going on?” These are all perfectly normal thoughts that can lead to some hyperarousal. Hyperarousal stems from expecting something about a situation to be different from what it actually is. In this episode, I first talk about acceptability thresholds: Next, we look at how expectations create resistance to what is — keeping us stuck in the struggle with sleep. Lastly, we explore how to meet this challenge and why expectations might not be as essential as we think. Enjoy! Subscribe to The Mind. Body.

Rethinking Progress During Recovery | Ep 20

1/11/2024
Hello, my friends! This one is all about measuring PROGRESS. When you’re going through insomnia, of course you want sleep more than life itself — that's totally understandable. But let’s be mindful of how we measure progress because one leads to stress, and the other safety. In this episode, I challenge the conventional measure of progress and introduce a novel perspective: Progress is better assessed by how one RESPONDS to sleep than the quantity or quality of sleep itself. What?! Tune in to learn: Overcoming insomnia is a nuanced journey but it doesn’t have to be hard. (It’s certainly not harder than insomnia itself.) As you move forward, remember: Happy New Year!

Using Indifference to Overcome Sleep Anxiety | Ep 16

11/16/2023
In today’s episode we explore the powerful concept of INDIFFERENCE. Fostering an attitude of indifference is a transformative way to acknowledge your brains messages without being overly fazed them. You’re not taking whatever it’s telling you as the unequivocal TRUTH of the situation. Insomnia is a conditioned pattern of fear. But we can nurture our brains to let go of this fear. By responding from a place of indifference (versus reinforcement), we can forge new pathways around what the brain perceives as a threat. Examples of indifference include: When the brain is signaling DANGER, DANGER, DANGER. We’re saying, “Whatever, I’m actually okay.” Indifference can be valuable because it helps the brain perceive a sense of safety. Before you know it, sleep becomes sleep again — just a natural part of life. Subscribe to The Mind. Body. Sleep.™ Podcast: Apple | Spotify | Google Work with Beth: 👉 Learn About the Mind. Body.

Paradoxical Insomnia – Why You Feel Like You’re Not Sleeping | Ep 15

11/9/2023
Do you ever wake up and wonder if you even slept at all? Do you feel like your body is sleeping but your brain is awake? Do you feel like you’re in some kind of weird limbo state; half-asleep and half-awake? If so, this episode is tailored specifically for you! One of the most bizarre aspects of my own insomnia experience was the seeming inability I had to sleep deeply. My brain wouldn’t let me cross fully into sleep no matter what I did. Hypersleep is a common phenomenon, but without understanding what it is or why it happens, it can feel pretty scary. Finally, after decades of feeling like I had a broken brain, I understood what was going on. And that made it SO much easier to get beyond. Join me in this episode and discover: Once this paradoxical mystery fades, hypersleep becomes deeper sleep. And you can get back to your big, beautiful life. Subscribe to The Mind. Body.
