CBT-I addresses both the behaviors and beliefs that interfere with the ability to fall asleep and/or stay asleep. CBT-I starts with an in-depth assessment of your specific sleep challenges. Then you and your therapist will focus on specific physical and cognitive changes you can make to improve your sleep.
Starting on the first session, you will be asked to keep a sleep journal. This journal will track many variables that have been clinically shown to affect sleep. You an your therapist will begin changing your sleep routine to improve the number of hours of sleep and the quality of your rest.
Sleep challenges are not just related to behaviors, but also about beliefs. Many people will lay in bed for hours saying "I will never get to sleep!" CBT-I helps to challenge these beliefs and helps to overcome these cognitive barriers to a good nights rest.
Insomnia affects many people, with or without a mental health illness. While medication and supplements have traditionally been the first treatment option for insomnia, there are several evidence based therapy options to help get a better night sleep. Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective option for those which medication has not been a solution and for those who do not want to use medication to treat insomnia.
