After her first session of hypnotherapy she reported two successive nights of good sleep. The following night she decided to try to sleep without the temazepan and only obtained a few hours sleep as a result. The client came for a second session. I suggested she ensure sleep with half the previous dose of temazepan. On follow up she reported that her insomnia had not improved and was proceeding to start treatment with a SSRI. In curiosity looked up temazepan and discovered it can have withdrawal effects even after short term use. Anxiety was one of the effects, which could have caused the insomnia again.

She was just sitting during the session in the same room when I was working with my client her friend. She was also going into a light trance. Next week the client and the friend show up again together and they were telling me that her slleing problems are now over. It was just the state of hypnosis that helps her solving her problem without knowing it. It was a big surprice for me. :-) I have had a client and she was bringing a friend from turkey and the friend did not speak german.
