Episode 71: Chronic Health (Part 2): Patrick’s Biopsychosocial Assessment

A lot can be learned about our nervous system and needs by looking at biopsychosocial aspects of life.
In this episode, Patrick Casale and Dr. Megan Anna Neff, two AuDHD mental health professionals, explore the biopsychosocial aspects of sleep and how they intersect with mental health through the lens of Patrick’s experiences.

1. Gain insight into Patrick Casale's ongoing battle with sleep issues, from his childhood to the present day, and learn how various factors-like sleep environment, hydration habits, and caffeine intake-impact his nights.
2. Hear Dr. Neff's expert advice on practical strategies for better sleep, including the use of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) and small, manageable changes that can make a big difference over time.
3. Understand the biopsychosocial dimensions of sleep disturbances, including how stress, rumination, and hypervigilance can disrupt your rest, and discover methods to counter these challenges through visualization and grounding exercises.
If you struggle with sleep, consider doing a biopsychosocial assessment for yourself, and find the small changes you can implement to improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.
