Losing Sleep: how to manage in times of heightened anxiety: Video Course
The environment of uncertainty that the COVID-19 situation has created, has unsurprisingly manifested in heightened anxiety levels – both for our clients as well as ourselves. Some of us are sleeping too little, struggling to get to sleep, waking through the night or sleeping too much and still feeling exhausted and fatigued.

Full course information
As therapists, we are faced with multiple challenges:
- We are cognizant of the fact that clients who are losing sleep can especially be prone to internalising their feelings– creating challenges for the therapeutic process
- Moreover, the lack of sleep can be comorbid with anxiety, depression, trauma and a number of other emotional wellbeing challenges
- We also know that anxiety causes sleeping problems – at the same time, loss of sleep can lead to increased levels of anxiety. This cyclical nature of sleep loss / heightened anxiety can have a significant impact on affect regulation
- Even if our clients are not directly seeking help for ‘sleep issues’ – we need to understand the underlying symptomatology, so as to be able to offer effective therapeutic assistance
At this unique and practical seminar, Dr Karen Treisman draws on her extensive clinical experience to explore the multi-layered impact of sleep loss and its causative factors. She explains how we can put words to some of the sensations and experiences that we are going through – with specific reference to psychoeducation for sleep loss. While evaluating soothing techniques, externalising ideas, cognitive tools and sensory suggestions, the seminar discusses:
- Some of the reasons why our clients might be struggling to fall asleep in the context of the pandemic and how we can manage the impact on the therapeutic process
- Some of the reasons why our clients might be feeling exhausted and / or sleeping too much – and how this intertwines with anxiety manifestations
- Practical tools and tips from CBT, sensory approaches and trauma-informed techniques for improving sleep (for our clients and ourselves)
