CBT-I
What is CBT-I or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia?
We know how vital sleep is to your well-being. When insomnia takes hold—leaving you tossing and turning, waking up exhausted, or dreading bedtime—it can feel like a cycle you’ll never escape. That’s where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) comes in. This evidence-based approach is designed to help you regain control of your sleep, restore your energy, and reclaim your nights.
What Is CBT-I?
CBT-I is a highly effective, structured form of therapy designed to address chronic insomnia. Unlike quick fixes or temporary solutions, CBT-I focuses on understanding and changing the thoughts, behaviors, and habits that interfere with healthy sleep patterns.
This approach helps you:
Reframe unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety about sleep.
Build consistent and healthy sleep habits to reset your internal clock.
Address behaviors and routines that disrupt your ability to fall and stay asleep.
Improve sleep quality and duration so you wake up feeling refreshed and restored.
How Does CBT-I Work?
CBT-I typically involves 6-8 sessions, during which you’ll work with your therapist to explore and adjust factors that impact your sleep. This may include:
Sleep Education: Learning about the science of sleep and how it affects your mind and body.
Cognitive Restructuring: Challenging and changing negative thoughts about your ability to sleep.
Sleep Restriction: Limiting the time spent in bed to strengthen your natural sleep drive.
Stimulus Control: Creating a strong association between your bed and restful sleep.
Relaxation Techniques: Practicing mindfulness, meditation, or other strategies to calm your mind and body.
At The Counter Collective, we tailor CBT-I to your unique needs, focusing on solutions that fit seamlessly into your life.
