Research increasingly shows that Cognitive Behavioral 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 two-day “Beyond the Basics” CBT-I workshop is designed for those who want to customize and adapt Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) for clients who have multiple diagnoses. Day One will focus on reviewing the basics of assessment and delivery of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with a more nuanced understanding of the perpetuating factors for chronic insomnia. Day two will focus on a case formulation approach that can be applied across disciplines, and clinic settings will be explored. 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-occuring condition. This approach 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 Behavioral 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-occuring sleep apnea.
Back by popular demand! This is the fifth consecutive year leading researcher and CBT-I clinician Colleen Carney has presented for us.
