Letting Go, Earworms, and Fake Square Ones: Q&A on Insomnia Recovery

In this Q&A episode, I answer three powerful listener questions that touch on some of the most common — and confusing — experiences in sleep recovery.

We explore:

🌀 What actually counts as a sleep effort — and why trying to avoid everything might be holding you back 🎵 How to relate differently to intrusive songs (or looping thoughts) that show up at night 🔁 The fear of being “back at square one” — and why that feeling doesn’t mean you’ve lost progress

Whether you're navigating insomnia, anxiety around sleep, or just trying to trust your body again, I hope these reflections bring clarity and compassion to your journey.

Let’s unpack these tricky moments together — and remind ourselves that recovery doesn’t have to be perfect to be real.
