Sleep problems almost always co-occur with other problems such as depression, pain or anxiety, but few mental health providers have the correct tools necessary to treat this highly comorbid problem. An unfortunate misstep by many experienced therapists is to believe that sleep is a symptom of whatever other disorder they are treating, or that insomnia is treated with an ineffective treatment like sleep hygiene. Come for a three-hour workshop of insomnia myth-busting and practical tool building from which you and your clients will benefit. Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a very brief, highly effective treatment across multiple comorbidities.
Moreover, there are several tools in CBT-I that are effective on their own and can be used in conjunction with the co-occurring treatment you are already providing, such as CBT for depression. This is important because research shows that insomnia predicts that your client will have a lower response to the therapy you are providing for conditions such as depression, and the untreated insomnia is predictive of relapse from the other depression. The best news is that treating insomnia is associated with enhanced outcomes for the other condition you are treating, and to provide this important solution to your clients, you do not need to be a sleep specialist to deliver it effectively. You will see that the techniques in CBT-I are highly compatible with what you are already doing (e.g., cognitive therapy techniques are the same and strategies such as time-in-bed restriction is complementary to behavioral activation for depression, paced activity in chronic pain etc.).
This workshop will provide you with the tools to effectively integrate CBT-I treatment into your existing practice.
By the end of this training, attendees will be better able to—
- Modify behaviors that interfere with the build-up of deep sleep drive
- Collaborate with clients on time-in-bed schedules
- Suggest behaviors that enhance circadian regulation
- Implement fatigue management strategies
- Describe how CBT-I complements other CBT protocols for pain, depression and anxiety
- Use case formulation to integrate cognitive-behavioural strategies for insomnia with strategies for pain, depression and anxiety
