I woke in the night only for my mind to start playing out paranoid scenarios. There followed a small battle inside of me telling myself how completely unfounded any of it was only for it to twist even more. Luckily I know things seem worse in the night and luckily I knew some techniques to stop it mostly so I could fall asleep again. \u00a0I used some techniques from a book called ‘How to live in the here and now’ by Paul Jones I believe. \u00a0 Excellent CBT and NLP techniques in it. \u00a0I used them to great effect a couple of years ago.
