New at the AnxietyLA Bookstore, a collection of insomnia books and workbooks, including Quiet Your Mind and Get to Sleep, briefly reviewed here by Beth Cholette, PhD. Excerpt:
[The authors] start by reviewing sleep-incompatible behaviors–for example, staying in bed when you can’t sleep–and then describing specific techniques to counteract these problematic patterns. They continue to provide action plans for breaking learned habits by addressing topics such as negative beliefs, worry, and relaxation. As the authors discuss each new method, they offer a variety of worksheets which walk the reader through exactly how to use that strategy; similarly, they also share tips for dealing with any obstacles which might arise and provide many case examples to more clearly demonstrate the information provided.
