Improving Sleep Quality through Acceptance and Relaxation

In this episode, I talk to Emma McAdam, a licensed marriage and family therapist. She also creates content on her channel ‘Therapy in a Nutshell’, where her mission is to make mental health more accessible to people like you and me.

I was really excited to chat with Emma because I realized a lot of what we face when it comes to achieving or not achieving quality rest, comes down to our minds. Often, we’re battling emotions of fear, anxiety, stress, and sometimes, all the above. So it’s impossible to almost switch off these thoughts that are racing around our heads, by the time it’s time we should be peacefully in bed asleep.

In our discussion, Emma helps to define different types of feelings and emotions we commonly face throughout our busy days, the primary causes of stress and anxiety, and then how we can resolve these challenges that can lead to insomnia through cognitive behavioral therapy.
