Jed Shlackman, LMHC, treats clients in the Miami, South Florida area as well as people from around the world who experienced a variety of trauma related and mental health issues. In addressing insomnia and other sleep disturbances it is helpful to see how our mind and body function to handle perceived threats and stresses in our lives, including our physical environment and social and psychological circumstances. Anything that overstimulates the nervous system or inflames the body can interfere with healthy sleep patterns. Restoring healthy, rejuvenating sleep can involve healing emotional issues, stress relief, trauma resolution, changes in lifestyle, diet, and environment, brain training and brainwave therapies, meditation and mindfulness, nervous system detoxification, weaning off of drugs and medications, infection clearing, and more. If you are seeking support and guidance in overcoming sleep challenges you can contact Jed for a consultation.
