Description
From the initial development of PTSD to its treatment, sleep disturbance plays a huge role in how clients recover from trauma. And while most therapists recognize that their clients aren’t sleeping well, few understand that sleep hygiene strategies alone are insufficient and ineffective. In this session, Dr. Colleen Carney will show you simple, evidence-based tools you can use to both improve the effectiveness of your trauma treatment and help your clients get the rest they need.
