Session #: 719-409
Presenter(s): Rubin Naiman, Ph.D.
Session Length: 2 hr. 00 min. Event: 2009 Networker Annual Symposium Date: March 26-29, 2009
Insomnia has long been considered a classic symptom of depression. But could it also be a causal factor? Growing data suggests that insomnia frequently precedes the onset of depression and can significantly increase the likelihood that the condition will worsen, recur, and even lead to suicide. This workshop presents a new mind-body model for early identification and treatment of the "insomnia-depression complex," grounded in the integration of neuroscience and archetypal psychology. We'll discuss the profoundly healing role of adequate rest and how to evaluate clients for insomnia-induced depression. Participants will come away with a comprehensive treatment plan that includes cognitive-behavioral approaches, light therapy, circadian rhythm remedies, shadow work, and the use of natural substances that promote healthful, restorative rest. (This session will continue with Workshop 509.)
