cognitive behavioral or other therapy? - Men's Health Information, Including Fitness, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Working Out & Sex

I've read that something called "cognitive-behavioral treatment" works for insomnia and am considering trying it myself.

I am deciding between individual treatment and a group. Has anyone done either one and has advice?

There is one starting near me in Boston in December: I am curious if anyone has tried a group such as this one and can comment on her experience.

Thanks.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is widely accepted as an evidence- and empiricism-based, cost-effective psychotherapy for many disorders and psychological problems..

One of the objectives of CBT typically is to identify and monitor thoughts, assumptions, beliefs and behaviors that are related and accompanied to debilitating negative emotions and to identify those which are dysfunctional, inaccurate, or simply unhelpful.

I haven't gone through CBT but I am currently going through DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and I must say that it has been a great help. If this is available to you then go for it. I've heard nothing but good things about CBT as well. I wish you the best.
