BT08 Short Course 31 - Snoozing Soundly While Disa(la)rming Depression - Deborah Beckman, MS

Description:

Disturbed sleep painfully contributes to depression. Paradoxically, client's symptoms become pathways that disarms suffering, yielding to the solace of sound sleep. Clients then pace healing to the rhythms of restorative sleep, without excess alarm. Ericksonian-based trance language directly addressing disturbed sleep first, and indirectly addressing depression will be offered.

Educational Objectives:

1. To identify clients' language to directly address and reframe disturbed sleep.
2. Given a client, employ sleep restructuring techniques through individualized metaphors to indirectly address the presenting symptoms of depression.
