Sleep Disorder Therapy
Most of the general population is tired, but having a sleep disorder is a completely different kind of tired. It feels soul-crushing and life-sucking. It makes everyday life even harder than it already is. There is a sense of grief, and sometimes helplessness, that no one understands unless they have a sleep disorder themselves. If you’re struggling with a sleep disorder and you’re looking for someone who truly understands—I have type 2 narcolepsy and trust me, I get it.
Maybe you feel guilt for needing more rest, or shame for not being able to “keep up” with others. You’ve been dismissed by doctors, misunderstood by loved ones, or have been told to just take more vitamin D. These experiences can take a toll—not just on your energy levels, but on your self-worth and overall mental health.
Quality sleep plays a role in our cognitive functioning, emotional processing, and overall physical health. When we have sleep disorders that interrupt this time to repair and process, it can cause significant impacts on our lives and how we function. Although there may not be cures for most sleep disorders, there are ways you can learn to better manage your symptoms, find acceptance, and still live a life you enjoy despite having a sleep disorder.
I offer a space where we can talk about all of it—your fatigue, your frustration, your fear of missing out on life—and where you don’t have to pretend like all of this isn’t wreaking havoc on everything you do. You deserve support that honors the full picture of what you’re going through—not just the sleep part, but the human part too.
