MP3•Episode home

In this episode, I explore what I consider the single most powerful tool for overcoming insomnia — your response. When it comes to long-term recovery, it’s not about finding a magic sleep trick or trying harder to force sleep. It’s about how you respond to the experience of insomnia itself.
We’ll look at what happens when the brain’s hyperarousal system misinterprets sleeplessness as danger and how to shift that conditioned response back toward safety. You’ll learn how cultivating awareness, compassion, and curiosity rewires the brain through self-directed neuroplasticity — and why it’s not about doing more, but about doing less and trusting your body’s innate wisdom.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of trying to sleep harder, this episode offers a refreshing and hopeful perspective that can help you step off the hamster wheel and truly recover.
Takeaways:

Your response is your most powerful recovery tool.
Safety, not effort, is what restores natural sleep.
Compassion and awareness are the antidotes to hyperarousal.
You can teach your brain that it’s safe to sleep.
