Description

Research increasingly shows that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) has a profound effect on chronic insomnia, works better than drugs, and improves treatment outcomes for comorbid conditions such as depression, anxiety, pain, and trauma.

This 6-hour course “beyond the basics” CBT-I workshop is designed for those who want to customize and adapt Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for clients who have multiple diagnoses.

We will focus on reviewing the basics of assessment and delivery of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with a more nuanced understanding of the perpetuating factors for chronic insomnia.

We will also focus on a case formulation approach that can be applied across disciplines and clinic settings. This will enable you to sharpen your understanding of sleep regulation and will complement what you may already be doing for the treatment of a co-occurring conditions. This approach also provides relevant strategies to handle the types of complex cases you are most likely to encounter in clinical practice.

For example, challenging beliefs that vigilance is necessary in trauma-focused therapy can be complemented by strategies that address bed avoidance in PTSD. Or, increasing activity in chronic pain treatment protocols can be complemented by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) advice about stimulus control (how to rest in a way that is not sleep interfering). A client-centered, case formulation approach provides the flexibility and efficiency of delivery without compromising on empirical support.

In addition to learning how to use case formulation to guide treatment decisions, attendees will learn how to develop suitable schedules for night owls with day jobs, how to work effectively with those with chronic hypnotic medication use, and how to work safely and effectively with those with co-occurring sleep apnea.
