Can't sleep after hypnosis.

Posted , 3 users are following.

When I have experienced hypnosis I used my will power to unhypnose myself. I wasn't able to sleep after this, I felt like my heart speeded up when I tried to relax. I have been prescribed sleeping medicine (quetiapine) and referred for CBT. It's been 7 months since it started. The therapist says that it is necessary to treat all mental problems to fix my sleeping, and he won't specifically treat my sleeping. Is it common or I should change the therapist, because every day I feel like I haven't been sleeping for a year, having poor mental functions, not being able to normally think.
