Welcome back to a Safe Place to Land!

Today, Emily interviews Dr. Barry Krakow, a specialist in Sleep Medicine with expertise in mental health and sleep quality. Dr. Krakow discusses his research emphasizing that sleep quality outweighs sleep quantity, directly impacting both mental and physical well-being. Specifically, he explores how nasal breathing influences sleep depth and methods to enhance sleep quality. Dr. Krakow's findings reveal a link between poor sleep and various medical conditions like anxiety, depression, and more, as detailed in his book "Life-Saving Sleep: New Horizons in Mental Health Treatment." He stresses the importance of mental health professionals being trained in Sleep Medicine to ensure clients are screened for optimal sleep quality, given the significant correlation between sleep and mental health issues.



Barry Krakow, MD is a board certified sleep medicine specialist practicing in Savannah, Georgia following a 30 year career conducting research and treating mental health patients with sleep disorders. He developed and pioneered several advanced methods for the treatment of insomnia, nightmares, and sleep apnea, published these findings in top scientific journals, and proved conclusively the necessity to diligently address (without medication) sleep complaints in those suffering anxiety, depression, PTSD and more. His new book, Life Saving Sleep New Horizons in Mental Health treatment offers a mind-body approach to the art and science of sleep medicine with special emphasis on the relationships between sleep physiology and sleep-related emotion-focused therapy.

His new practice involves an innovative sleep health coaching program, accessed at www.barrykrakowmd.com, and you can follow his free Substack newsletter on sleep research updates at www.fastasleep.substack.com. Currently, as Director of Sleep Medicine Services at Gateway Behavioral Health, a full-scale application of sleep medicine interventions will be integrated didactically and clinically into the existing psychiatry residency program to become a core component of training and utilization.

Hi, Hi, Hi!

This is a topic that keeps coming up and up in our therapy practice so LETS TALK ABOUT IT.

Sound familiar?

Are you someone who constantly finds themselves overthinking relationships? Do you often wonder if your partner truly cares for you or if you're good enough for them? Relationship anxiety is real, my friends, and it can stem from various factors such as attachment styles, past negative experiences, low self-esteem, and poor communication skills. But fear not, because there are ways to overcome this anxiety and build healthier relationships.

Here are some of the major points Olivia hits on this episode...

• Relationship anxiety can lead to behaviors such as seeking constant reassurance, controlling actions, doubts about compatibility, and overanalyzing words and actions.

• Overcoming relationship anxiety involves communicating feelings, living in the present moment, confronting anxiety, and going to therapy to understand and change relationship patterns.

• This is crucial - self-awareness and addressing personal issues is crucial to create healthy and meaningful relationships.

Remember, you deserve to be in a relationship where you feel valued, supported, and at ease.
