Description:
This 2-day intermediate workshop will help behavioral healthcare providers to assess and treat insomnia using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). We begin by discussing common problems military members have with sleep, as well as provide a foundation for understanding normal sleep (i.e., theories about why we sleep, how sleep is regulated, sleep architecture, and how sleep changes over the lifespan). The workshop utilizes this foundation of understanding normal sleep functioning to further clarify clinical problems patients experience, reviewing differential sleep diagnoses and available assessment tools. Next, we review the etiology of insomnia along with going over each step of the CBTI protocol. We go over implementation strategies and different formats for CBT-I such as telehealth and group settings. During the workshop we will use experiential and interactive elements to develop practical skills for using assessment tools like a sleep diary, questions for a sleep specific interview, stimulus control, sleep restriction, and cognitive therapy. This workshop focuses on clinical practice by application of assessment and intervention methods for both individuals and group members experiencing insomnia that have consistent and credible empirical support in the literature (i.e., Zhou et al., 2020; Department of Veteran Affairs & Department of Defense, 2019; Moore et al., 2021; Lui et al., 2020; Hertenstein et al., 2022).
