This 2-day workshop provides training in evidence- based strategies for assessing and treating insomnia, fatigue, nightmares and claustrophobia to apnea treatments (e.g., the Positive Airway Pressure mask). Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is the rst line recommended treatment for insomnia (NIH, 2005). Participants will learn step-by-step strategies for delivering CBT, and how to troubleshoot common implementation problems for complex clients. Particular focus will be on adherence and delivery issues commonly encountered in those with pain, depression, or anxiety problems. There will be in-vivo exercises and role play opportunities for workshop participants to practice their new skills, and all participants will receive a detailed handout.
Participants will learn:
Strategies for assessing insomnia and other sleep disorders in DSM-5
How sleep is regulated and how to use this information in CBT
Evidence-based behavioral strategies for treating insomnia and fatigue
Evidence-based cognitive-behavioral strategies for nightmares and claustrophobia associated with Positive Airway Pressure masks (i.e., apnea treatment)
Cognitive strategies for insomnia and fatigue
Mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches for insomnia
- Ways to adapt treatment components in those with co-occurring conditions
