Question and Answers

I am unable to sleep since last few weeks

Male | 38

The trouble of late with a rest condition can hardly be seen due to feeling concerned. One of the most common side effects is having difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently during the night, which then leads to fatigue during the day. A multitude of things, such as anxiety, lifestyle choices, or even health concerns existing underneath the condition is being the causes of these symptoms. It would be beneficial to try the following to help relieve the situation: implementing a consistent and relaxing nighttime routine, staying away from screens while you're about to sleep, and creating a cozy sleep space.

I'm experiencing many stress feelings because my past desicions

Female | 20

I don't see any need for worries or fears when you are looking back on your achievements. The most frequent expressions of the problem are anxiety, agitations, and inability to focus on the situation at hand. These responses are a result, in many cases, of suppressed feelings or concern about the future. To handle these emotions, you can use mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. Doing other recreational activities and talking to supporting siblings can be both physically and emotionally beneficial. Go to a doctor right away or if you need help desperately, I advise you to see a medical professional. They can give specific care and resources to support you while you go through tough times.

Hello. I am a doctor myself. I write to seek help about my sister. 34 years old, married and living with husband with my mother, having constant auditory hallucinations since 2014, took antipsychotics, was not open to CBT, there is no improvement, rather weight gain and more depression. She has had a bunch of traumatic events since childhood and all her past villains (teacher who locked her in school at age 7 in the dark till 8PM) (an on and off absent father and his brothers) (ex husband) and God knows who, are the ones who are prompting fearful instigations in her causing her to behave erratically, fear of brainmapping and planning to kill and harm her body after mom is no more, all of this in her auditory hallucinations. There is constant crying out of unrealistic fear. What I hoped to seek from you is if you can manage to clinically hypnotise her, reach into every fear she has and nullify them at subconscious level, giving her a feel to look forward to a positive purposeful life ahead. Most other hypnotists are using Hinduism and past life karma concepts, my mother is not comfortable with it, we are moslems. Sister is on medications, prescribed by Manasa Mind Clinic but mother has to slip into some drink she refuses to take if she is told what it is for.. I would really like to discuss more if you have time, before i make an appointment for her.

It seems that your sister is really disturbed by her hallucinations caused by auditory perception and old psychological trauma. These symptoms may come from such terrible things she has faced and factors that emphasize her experience. Hypnosis requires a holistic approach; thus, I advocate her healing through the system. I endorse that you think of obtaining a multidisciplinary consultation by a psychiatrist for medication management and a psychologist for trauma-informed therapy. Like we have mentioned before, her therapist could offer her a space to endorse her beliefs while implementing the new ways of coping. Getting the help of the mental health professionals is the key; therefore, you need to consult a healthcare provider that can give her the right direction for her health.
