A therapist couldn't hurt. They may find some underlying information that is causing you to lose sleep. You never know. Practicing skills is a good way to go. It can't hurt either. Mindfulness helps a lot. I meditate to fall asleep. It works well for me.

I wish you the best Hope.

Hugs, Karen...

I can see how a therapist might be able to help for some insomnia situations, but for the majority of us I would say, no, it won't help. Lots of us it has more to do with physical causes, like hormones, caffeine, etc.

It would be interesting to find out if there are therapists who actually specialize in insomnia... I wonder?

I don't know if a therapist would help with insomnia in all cases, but I know therapy can help teach us coping skills to deal with the frustration of insomnia and relaxation skills that can put your in the right frame of mind for sleep.
