The key is to switch off the fight flight or freeze state and regulate your nervous system, and that is done by activating another part of your autonomic nervous system, which is called parasympathetic nervous system.
Ever find yourself tossing and turning, unable to find peace after enduring narcissistic abuse? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse with Danish', Danish Bashir, a seasoned expert in narcissistic abuse recovery, dives into the common struggle of disrupted sleep following traumatic experiences. He breaks down why your sleep patterns might be out of whack and offers practical, down-to-earth techniques to help you reclaim those restful nights.
Danish starts by explaining how trauma messes with your sleep and stresses the importance of calming your nervous system. He sheds light on the 'rest and digest system', which is key to switching off that pesky fight-or-flight mode and bringing about relaxation. But don't worry, Danish isn't just about the science—he's got actionable tips too. He introduces two nifty exercises: the Wet Noodle Technique and Progressive Muscle Relaxation.
The Wet Noodle Technique is all about consciously letting go of muscle tension, while Progressive Muscle Relaxation involves tightening and then releasing muscles from your feet all the way up to your head. These exercises are designed to help you establish a strong mind-body connection, paving the way for better sleep. Danish also emphasizes the importance of creating a sleep-friendly environment. Simple changes like using your bed solely for sleeping can make a big difference.
By incorporating these techniques and tweaks into your routine, you can start to see improvements in your sleep quality. Tune in to this episode for a compassionate guide to overcoming sleep disruptions caused by narcissistic abuse. Danish's empathetic approach and practical advice provide a comforting roadmap to better nights and, ultimately, a better you.
