Replay - From Busy Brain to Tranquil Mind: Addressing Anxiety to Get Better Sleep with Dr. Katie Thomson Aitken

The Word On The Sleep

21-06-2022 • 49 minutos

If you are someone who struggles with anxiety - or the “busy brain” - or what I like to call “Monkey Mind” at night, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by my friend and colleague, Dr. Katie Thomson Aitken. Katie has a clinical focus in treating anxiety and is the creator of The Tranquil Minds Program and author of Create Calm - and has graciously shared a free copy of her audiobook with you!

In this episode, Katie and I have a beautiful conversation about anxiety and sleep. We went deep and talked about:

  • The 3 archetypes of anxiety and how where they come from
  • Why we’re really feeling anxious
  • What we actually need to do during the day to get better sleep at night
  • How to quiet our busy brains to create calm and invite sleep

Katie also shares her story of sleep struggles through postpartum depression and grief after experiencing a stillbirth, and what tools and techniques she found helpful to heal through that journey.
