Ep 330: Trouble Sleeping? Psychologist Dr. Shelby Harris’ Approach to Treating Insomnia

Dr. Shelby Harris' book The Women's Guide to Overcoming Insomnia

I haven’t talked about sleep problems yet here on the Psych Files so I brought in the perfect person to talk to us about sleep and insomnia. Dr. Shelby Harris has written the Woman’s Guide to Overcoming Insomnia and I learned a lot about how Cognitive Behavioral therapy is applied to this specific problem. Dr. Harris also has some tips you’ll want to hear to help you get a better night’s sleep.

    I listened to a few episodes, good job! this episode in particular interested me because im a long term insomniac. was a good insight but heard most of the stuff people with sleeping problems already know. What would be great to tackle is how to make you believe its all an obsession because that’s our biggest challenge. I had no problem writing my emotions about sleep but believing what’s written was a real problem.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments. I put a lot of effort into each episode and it’s great to get feedback like yours. I appreciate your desire to contribute to the Patreon campaign but I decided to down the campaign. I figured that since I’m lucky enough to now have regular sponsors of the show – like Ziprecruiterd and Wix – that contributions from individuals would not be needed. Thanks so much for the thought though!

    I am listening your podcast from beginning. You do a great job. I didn’t find your patreon, and i would like help you somehow. I am not fluent fluent in english and i use your podcast to practice listening, your content is very good, your voice is clear, you explain clearly the things, so i understand almost everything. That episode about about defense mechanism explained by freud was pretty good. Thank you for your job.
