Overview
Although many depression treatments don't directly target insomnia, research highlights the importance of addressing it. Indeed, untreated insomnia is linked to poorer outcomes and greater relapse. Additionally, it's important to note that insomnia does not always remit after depression treatment.
To help you with this challenge, Dr Colleen Carney has designed a workshop that illustrates how you can combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) with other protocols to treat insomnia and depression at the same time.
The workshop will address practical and evidence-based strategies for managing and treating both conditions. You will be equipped with tools and therapeutic techniques that can be integrated into your practice.
For example, increased time spent out of bed during CBT-I is compatible with the integration of behavioral activation, as well as cognitive behavioral strategies for fatigue. Psychoeducation about activities that promote alertness, sleep, and mood can be helpful across several comorbidities and increase treatment buy-in and motivation.
Similarly, the focus on modifying safety behaviors and threat monitoring, as well as challenging perfectionistic and other unhelpful beliefs is compatible with the focus of providing anxiety strategies.
This workshop will provide considerations for decision-making about sequencing and integration of treatments, as well as suggestions for combining treatments.
All this is provided through didactic instruction, experiential exercises, demonstrations, and clinical handouts from a leader in the field of cognitive behavioral treatment of comorbid insomnia.
