OCD + Insomnia

I have chronic insomnia that triggers my ocd. I have been diagnosed with pure O and the thoughts are constant and frightening. Started seeing a sleep therapist. Part of the problem is convincing my mind that I’m going to be ok. Sometimes I wake up in panic. Has anyone else experienced something like this? If so what has helped?
