3 Step Meditation Cured His Insomnia

A man in his 20’s suffered from 5 years of insomnia since a traumatic event occurred that he obsessed about at night.  A low dose of melatonin failed. The medicine trazodone helped sleep and now that he was better rested, he could use a three step meditation method every night to stop the obsessing. It took him five minutes to learn the technique in my office.  He looked forward to meditating every night instead of dreading insomnia, and this positive expectation allowed him to gradually phase off the trazodone over the next six months. The vicious cycle of the dread of insomnia bringing on the insomnia was broken.
