Trauma and Sleep Issues

Unresolved trauma can affect every aspect of life, and one of the most common struggles it creates is disrupted sleep. Nightmares, insomnia, and heightened anxiety at bedtime are often linked to past trauma.

At Progressive Psychiatry & Wellness, we recognize how essential quality sleep is to mental health and overall well-being. Our trauma-informed approach blends compassionate therapy, medication management when needed, and integrative techniques such as relaxation training, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene practices. We help you process and heal from traumatic experiences while also addressing the barriers that keep you from resting.

Restoring sleep often requires more than medication alone, which is why we take a whole-person perspective. With our support, you can begin to feel safer in your body, reduce nighttime distress, and regain the restorative sleep necessary for healing and resilience.
