How to cure psychological insomnia?
How can psychological insomnia be cured? According to the understanding of ordinary people, can simple rescue be cured through psychological adjustment, emotional counseling, watching more and doing happy things?
In fact, insomnia caused by psychological reasons has become a physical and mental disease. It is not a single thing that can be relieved or treated successfully by relaxing the mind. We should rely on the orderly means of professional doctors for treatment and recovery.
According to the causes of psychological insomnia, under the guidance of psychologists and medical experts, it is currently recognized that cognitive therapy, sleep stimulation control, sleep restriction therapy and Morita therapy can be used for treatment.
- Cognitive therapy
The so-called cognitive therapy is a treatment method that uses cognitive and behavioral techniques to change patients' bad cognition of their own psychology and spirit.
For insomniacs, the main reason for insomnia is that they fall into distorted, unhealthy, unreasonable, wrong, negative, radical concepts and wrong concepts unconsciously, which leads to their own emotional depression. Disorganized and maladaptive behavior to the outside world.
The purpose of cognitive therapy is to correct the patient's irrational cognition and restore their psychological and spiritual consciousness to a normal state. That is, reasonable cognition-emotion-behavior is harmonious and consistent.
- Stimulus control therapy
This method may seem cruel in reality, but it is an effective way to target negative conditioning without requiring any medical equipment. Its implementation process is more like the "psychological suggestion" and "spatial environment isolation" that Orientals often pay attention to.
The concrete steps of this method are:
① Make sure that the patient does not stay in bed or in the bedroom at any time except when sleeping.
② If you can't fall asleep after lying in bed for 20 minutes, get the patient out of bed, do something gentle, and only go back to bed when you are really sleepy.
③Ensure that patients wake up at the same time every day and get up immediately, regardless of the quality of sleep at night.
④ Supervise patients not to go to bed during the day and keep a certain distance from the sleeping environment.
Insomnia, mood swings, and decreased concentration indicate that you are suffering from psychological insomnia
- Morita Therapy
On a daily basis, many insomniacs report that the harder they try to fall asleep, the more nervous they become. I also tried various methods to solve it, and the result was that the brain became more active and it was more difficult to fall asleep. Morita Therapy focuses on:
①Patients should experience sleep while resting.
②If you feel sleepy while resting, you can lie on the bed at any time without choosing a time.
③ It is strictly forbidden for patients to force themselves to sleep, so as to eliminate the tension on sleep psychologically.
④ Treat sleep as a very simple thing in daily life. If you don't take it to heart, go to bed right away when you feel tired.
Through the above approaches, we sort out the concept of insomnia and possible psychological causes. It can be seen that insomnia is not as simple as we imagine in daily life, and its treatment is not as simple as eliminating psychological factors, but a complete and orderly process.
