Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) Training

Dr. Alisha Brosse trains practitioners in an ACT-enhanced version of CBTi in both individual and group formats, in person and on-line. This treatment is described in the workbook she co-authored, End the Insomnia Struggle: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help you Get to Sleep and Stay Asleep (New Harbinger Publications, 2016). In addition to the offerings listed below, Dr. Brosse is available for in-person workshops for mental health professionals or for consummers in corporate settings. She also has ample experience providing ongoing consultation for medical providers at sleep disorder clinics.

On-Demand Video-Based CBTi Training

This is a pre-recorded version of a 3-session workshop, including 3 lectures and 3 Q&A sessions with prior participants. You will learn the basic elements of a 6-session cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia (CBTi) protocol, including assessment, psychoeducation, behavioral strategies (e.g., stimulus control and sleep restriction), and cognitive strategies (e.g., cognitive restructuring and designated worry time). You also will learn how to incorporate principles and strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (e.g., mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive defusion) to optimize adherence to, and the effectiveness of, CBTi. The recordings include a mix of lecture, case examples, discussion and role plays. You will be strongly encouraged to engage in deliberate practice after watching each session to facilitate implementation.

What you’ll receive: Access to 6 hours of recorded lectures and Q&A sessions; pdf files of treatment handouts and additional resources; option to upgrade for lifetime access to a free monthly consultation group.

When: Watch on your own time, when it most suits you, over the 6-week period following purchase. (The video links will expire 6 weeks after you receive them.)

Cost: $155 on-demand only / $195 on-demand plus access to monthly consultation group.

How to purchase: Submit the registration form below. You will then receive an invoice via Ivy Pay. Once the invoice is paid you will receive an email with the course materials.

Technology Notes: You will need high-speed internet to stream the videos on Vimeo. Visual aids are an important part of the learning experience; please be prepared to watch, not just listen to, the lectures (i.e., don’t expect to listen while you drive or similarly multitask).

Intended Audience: Health practitioners (therapists, nurses, physicians, physician assistants) and trainees who want to provide their patients with something more than sleep hygiene instructions.

CEs: CEs are not currently available for this course.
