How it works
Consolidates sleep architecture disrupted by trauma-related arousal. Reduces conditioned arousal to the bedroom and addresses the sleep-related catastrophising that maintains insomnia in PTSD.
PTSD-adapted CBT-I differs from standard CBT-I — it incorporates trauma-related sleep beliefs and may be combined with imagery rehearsal therapy for nightmares.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
