I have been a Behavioral Sleep Therapist for over 25 years and have developed Neuro-Somatic Therapy for Sleep (NST-S), publicly known as SleepEasy. This is an advanced form of cognitive-behavioral therapy based on Polyvagal Theory and the somatic treatment of trauma.

Dr. Sisco is an internationally recognized trauma recovery specialist. She emphasizes the importance of a developed and appreciated sense of self in the recovery process. This requires clients to share a little deeper and to own the parts of self that have previously been shunned. The concept is alignment.
