In this two-day workshop, Michael A. Tompkins, PhD, ABPP, will teach you the essential theory and techniques of Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBTI). Using experiential exercises to demonstrate key interventions, Dr. Tompkins will present a concrete framework for implementing sleep education, sleep hygiene and sleep restriction interventions, cognitive restructuring of sleep worry, and implementing relapse prevention.

CBTI is the psychological treatment of choice for insomnia. Numerous research studies support the efficacy of CBTI, and many studies support that CBT is as effective or more effective than sleep medications. Furthermore, CBTI is a durable treatment without risks or side effects.
