The only difference between a behavioural therapist and a dog trainer is that the therapist doesn't give you any treats.

ADHD and sleep disturbances

Those with ADHD are probably aware that they have trouble sleeping frequently, but why is this? Restless sleep and sleep procrastination are common symptoms related to ADHD. While you may be more aware of your ADHD symptoms during the day, these symptoms don’t go away at night.

Restless Sleep

Commonly, patients with ADHD experience restless sleep. This can be characterized by trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, difficulty relaxing, trouble waking up in the morning, or not feeling energized after sleeping through the night. With ADHD, mental restlessness, and even physical restlessness, can contribute to poor sleep at night. With mental restlessness, one might experience not being able to wind down or “turn off their brain” when trying to go to sleep. They may experience thoughts replaying from throughout the day or a burst of energy when it is time to go to sleep. Once asleep, patients may find that they toss and turn throughout the night or sleep lightly and wake up multiple times. Once asleep, many patients with ADHD report that it is hard for them to wake up in the morning with many having to set multiple alarms. This can further lead to time management struggles that are already common with ADHD.

Sleep Procrastination

Sleep procrastination is another common contributor to poor sleep in individuals with ADHD. With sleep procrastination, individuals delay going to sleep at an appropriate time, commonly due to not having breaks during the day and feeling the need to do tasks before bed. With ADHD, the brain likes immediate gratification as well, and by procrastinating sleep to do more favorable activities, such as watching TV, playing video games, or reading, the brain is more satisfied than looking at the long-term gratification of going to bed on time. Individuals may procrastinate sleep by simply avoiding going to their bedroom or getting in bed, or by delaying sleep once they are in bed through activities such as being on their phone or watching TV.

Harms of improper sleep

Sleep is important for the body to recover from the day and to be ready to tackle the next day ahead. By not getting the proper amount of sleep each night, ADHD symptoms can worsen. Not having enough sleep can make a person’s memory worse and increase the chances of making careless errors.

Tips to improve sleep

Reducing screen time before bed

Creating and maintaining a bedtime routine, even on the weekends

Only use the bed for sleep, not for lounging or sitting during the day

Avoid caffeine later in the day

Avoid daytime naps if possible

Some individuals may require psychotherapy or medications to help with sleep at night. If you are struggling with sleep or your sleep routine, make an appointment with one of our clinicians today.

it absolutely baffles me how clueless doctors can be. like I don't think "it just helps change the way you think" is the right way to explain cognitive behavioural therapy to someone who just complained for a full hour about being gaslit.💀

Different Types of Psychotherapies: Exploring Your Options | Solh Wellness

Several psychological therapies provide useful strategies for overcoming life's problems when it comes to improving your mental health. These treatments, often known as talk therapies or psychotherapies, offer a framework for comprehending and controlling your ideas, feelings, and behaviors.

Let's look at the various forms of psychological therapy available:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A well-known treatment method called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) aims to recognize and alter unfavorable thought patterns. By recognizing and addressing these ideas, people can manage disorders like anxiety, melancholy, and stress efficiently. Through CBT, you acquire practical abilities to change your negative thinking.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) 

DBT combines techniques that encourage mindfulness with cognitive behavioral treatment. Those who struggle with strong emotions, risky behavior, and interpersonal problems benefit the most from it. DBT teaches individuals how to control their feelings, strengthen interpersonal bonds, and encourage self-acceptance.

Psychodynamic Therapy 

This therapy focuses mostly on the unsolved problems and unconscious mechanisms that influence your ideas and behaviour. To uncover ingrained patterns and advance consciousness and personal development, psychodynamic therapy digs into past interactions and experiences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)   

ACT places a strong focus on accepting one's ideas and feelings as opposed to trying to repress them. It helps people define their values and make a commitment to upholding them. This therapy effectively treats anxiety while enhancing general wellbeing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies  

Self-awareness and present-moment awareness are encouraged in therapies that place a strong emphasis on mindfulness. These therapies include:

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR):Through the practice of moderate yoga and mindfulness meditation, MBSR aims to reduce stress and promote emotional control.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): Since the MBCT program combines cognitive therapy techniques with mindfulness training, it can benefit people who have recurrent depression.

Humanistic Therapies  

The goals of humanistic therapies are the pursuit of self-actualization, self-growth, and self-discovery. These consist of:

Person-Centred Therapy: In the encouraging, nonjudgmental environment of this treatment, people can examine their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Gestalt Therapy: The value of fully experiencing the present moment is emphasized by gestalt therapy. It promotes self-awareness and accountability.

Family Systems Therapy

Understanding how a person's ties with their family impact their mental health is the aim of family systems therapy. It tries to promote harmony within the family and communication.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)  

In IPT, emphasis is placed on interpersonal and communication skills. Both treating depression and resolving interpersonal conflicts can be done using it.

Narrative Therapy  

Examining the narratives we tell about our lives is an essential component of narrative therapy. Retelling and recreating these tales can offer people fresh perspective and a sense of empowerment.

Behavioural Therapy  

Behavioral therapy seeks to alter a behavior by identifying the reinforcers of that behavior. For phobias, OCD, and other conditions, there are two methods of treatment: behavior modification and exposure therapy.

Last but not least, each therapy has its unique technique and benefits. A licensed therapist can help you discuss your options and help you discover the option that best suits your needs. Remember that choosing the ideal approach could need some trial and error because therapy is a collaborative process. By incorporating psychological treatment into your regular routine for maintaining your mental health, you may offer yourself the resources you require to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental disorders. Considered pathology, anxiety is the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders... but what if it isn't always or only a medical condition?

From Greek tragedies and Buddhism to actual practices from ancient doctors like Galen, there are a myriad of important lessons about anxiety that can be gleaned from the past. Indeed, the ancients had a lot to say about anxiety and mental conditions in general... and their perspective and observations were at times very different from those found in our modern era.

With the help of both ancient philosophy and history, how can we see anxiety as a source not only of suffering, but also of insight?

Join us on March 6th at Noon EST to rethink anxiety.

Your Thoughts Have Power

It is through the power of thoughts that our emotions and feelings are shaped, ultimately influencing our behaviour. Consequently, our thoughts hold the key to our behaviour and actions. This principle forms the foundation of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), wherein the transformation of thoughts leads to the transformation of outcomes and actions.
