Hi friend, Let’s talk about the fear of triggers during insomnia recovery ❤️ But first… Oops, my bad Before I dive into today’s topic, I wanted to mention something briefly. One of my long-term supporters on Patreon has asked me about the paid subscription here on Substack and how different it is from my Patreon
Definitely helped put so much into perspective! I managed to escape the self-hatred loop by observing my thoughts and allowing them to be, because I care about things and that’s okay! I’m human and giving myself permission to feel everything allowed me to let go of the struggle which is super paradoxical! Thank you, Alina!
Hi Alina! Thank you so much for your newsletter~ I’ve been getting extremely wonderful sleep and found it easier and easier to move away from the struggle. I’m still in the recovery in processing all of my triggers. Especially when I have a particularly busy day the next day (which is the biggest trigger for me). I really want to give myself compassion but end up feeling so angry every time the hyperarousal from the trigger kicks in the night before. It’s so difficult not to get angry at myself every time when I think back before I had insomnia and how “unstoppable” I was before. Then I end up hating myself even more. Any tips on how to get through this?
