I used to have awful insomnia since childhood, I was stuck in that fear mode of being hypervigilant, I couldn't relax. I now sleep so well, no nightmares or midnight panic attacks. There are videos on youtube and you can downlad an instructional video. Search 'David Berceli TRE'. I would really recommend it. After doing them, if feels like you've had a deep massage and a valium, I feel so relaxed and 'cleansed' of the anxiety from my body.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774711327647583278.post-76359603224075537732011-08-20T17:36:19.792-04:002011-08-20T17:36:19.792-04:00"Thank God that today we are parents who try ..."Thank God that today we are parents who try to be intuned with our children.

Its like people who have panic disorders. They have anxiety about something or many things clustered together. Then they have that first panic attack out of the blue (overload of stress) and then all the focus and energy goes towards the issue of panic. and the fear of having a panic attack. The same with the insomnia. Your parents were unable to recognise that it stemmed from the environment nor were they are to have insight into how damaging this was for you.Reminds me of my frequent need to always have to urinate. I was obsessed with the teachers knowing I couldn't go thru a class without having to go therefore I needed special permission. Also I vividly remember telling my dad was chest was hurting . I showed him where it hurt and told him that it felt like my heart was beating very loudly...pounding. I would always be thinking about my chest. So between the frequent need to urinate and the heart palpitations ( I was about nine at the time).No one picked up any clue that I might be anxious. <br />Thank God that today we are parents who try to be intuned with our children. We have broken the pattern.Monicahttp://daughtersofborderlinemoms.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
