Description
**ZOOM ONLY** This presentation will review the integration of thermal therapy, principally heat therapy, with established cognitive and behavioral interventions, for the treatment of depression and insomnia. Attendees will learn about thermal therapies rooted in traditional practices across cultures around the globe, and how thermal therapies might assist in the treatment of depression and insomnia. We are developing a remotely delivered thermal therapy for insomnia that addresses health inequities, for example, by making the treatment available to people without access to major hospital systems or who cannot travel outside of their home for treatment for any reason (e.g., elder care, childcare). Discussion will cover the results of our first clinical trial testing thermal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy for depression. Featuring: Ashley Mason, PhD Associate Professor of Psychiatry in the Weill Institute for Neurosciences and the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health University of California San Francisco
