Read the first 6 CBT-I Relaxation & Mindfulness Techniques flashcards as text

  1. Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Insomnia (MBT-I) combines which two approaches?

    Answer: MBSR practices and standard CBT-I behavioral components

    MBT-I integrates Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) practices with standard CBT-I behavioral components.

  2. How does acceptance-based therapy differ from standard cognitive restructuring in CBT-I?

    Answer: It encourages observing thoughts without trying to change them

    Acceptance-based approaches teach patients to coexist with unhelpful thoughts rather than dispute or eliminate them.

  3. Which relaxation technique involves focusing attention sequentially on different body regions?

    Answer: Body scan meditation

    Body scan meditation guides attention through each body part to cultivate non-judgmental awareness and relaxation.

  4. In CBT-I, relaxation techniques are primarily used to address which perpetuating factor?

    Answer: Hyperarousal (somatic and cognitive)

    Hyperarousal — including elevated physiological and cognitive activation — is the key perpetuating factor targeted by relaxation techniques.

  5. When should relaxation exercises ideally be practiced according to CBT-I guidelines?

    Answer: Regularly during the day and as part of the wind-down routine

    Regular daytime practice builds skill so relaxation becomes accessible at bedtime without performance anxiety.

  6. Which mindfulness principle is most relevant to reducing 'sleep effort' in insomnia?

    Answer: Non-striving and letting go of outcome expectations

    Non-striving reduces the counterproductive effort to force sleep, which typically worsens sleep onset insomnia.
