Sleep Well Again: CBT-I As A Solution to Overcoming Sleep Issues

Are restless nights taking a toll on your overall well-being? We understand the profound impact that sleep issues can have on your daily life. That's why we offer a comprehensive psychotherapeutic approach to addressing sleep problems, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Understanding Sleep Issues

Sleep is crucial for our physical and mental health, yet many individuals struggle with persistent sleep issues. Some people have had sleep issues their whole lives, others find that life stressors, life stages, and particular kinds of worry or rumination are disturbing their sleep more in recent months and years.  Many clients report changes in their sleep during the pandemic, that they are struggling to address now.

Whether it's difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, sleep disruptions can lead to a range of health issues, including increased stress, impaired cognitive function, and a weakened immune system.  

There is help for your sleep difficulties.  

The Power of CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a proven and effective approach to tackle sleep problems at their roots. Unlike medication-based solutions, CBT-I addresses the underlying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to insomnia. Both Asha and Jennifer have training and experience in CBT for Insomnia and can help you regain control over your sleep patterns using evidence-based CBT-I techniques.

Key Components of CBT-I:

  1. Cognitive Restructuring: CBT-I begins by identifying and challenging negative thought patterns related to sleep. We work with you to reshape these thoughts, promoting a healthier mindset that fosters relaxation and better sleep.

  2. Sleep Hygiene Education: Understanding the principles of good sleep hygiene is crucial for establishing a solid foundation for quality sleep. We guide you through practical tips and lifestyle adjustments to create an optimal sleep environment.

  3. Stimulus Control: CBT-I emphasizes the association between the bedroom and sleep. Working in this way, we help you establish a positive connection between the two, breaking negative associations that may be contributing to insomnia.

  4. Sleep Restriction: Through carefully structured plans, we gradually adjust your sleep schedule to optimize sleep efficiency. This process helps regulate your body's internal clock, leading to improved sleep duration and quality.

Why Work with Asha or Jennifer on Insomnia and other Sleep Issues?

  1. Personalized Approach: Each person is unique, and so are their sleep patterns. Our CBT-I programs are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

  2. Experience and Training: We both have training and experience guiding clients towards change around sleep-related issues we are dedicated to guiding you through the CBT-I process with expertise and empathy.

  3. Holistic Well-being: At our practice, we believe in addressing the whole person. In addition to CBT-I, we offer complementary approaches that contribute to overall well-being, including relational psychotherapy addressing anxiety, depression, trauma and life stressors; stress management, relaxation techniques, and counseling.
