Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Training to Implement the PAP-NAP (Online Training - CME/CSTE Offered)

Available 24/7

for Sleep Technologists/Technicians, Lab Managers, & Sleep Specialists

Through our innovative daytime procedure, the PAP-NAP, patients with insomnia, anxiety and other mental and physical factors can be motivated to become compliant PAP users. This 2 hour interactive lecture teaches you who the appropriate candidates are for the PAP-NAP and specific techniques to help your patients adapt to PAP therapy. These techniques can be used during this daytime procedure as well as during regular night time titrations. The program revolves around Dr. Krakow's discussion of the TFI System, which represents the thoughts, feelings, and images (TFI) that influence a patient's receptivity towards PAP therapy. Developing new skills based on motivational interviewing techniques, imagery applications, and sleep-related emotional processing will provide the tools to dramatically improve your engagement with reluctant or otherwise resistance sleep apnea patients.
