ACT for sleep – 3 steps to help with insomnia – Maja Schaedel

When clients struggle with insomnia, they often become entangled in self-critical or fear-driven thoughts, which only amplifies the problem. This 3-step strategy for managing insomnia from Dr Maja Schaedel offers a practical and compassionate way to help clients relate to their thoughts differently;

  1. Learn how to recognise unhelpful thoughts
  2. Make peace with unhelpful thoughts
  3. Shift your focus to something different

These steps can help clients break free from a cycle of frustration and find calm.
