It is now well recognized that some individuals who develop COVID-19
will experience persisting symptoms such as sensory and movement
challenges, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, cognitive
difficulties (difficulty concentrating, multitasking, and brain fog),
and many other debilitating changes to the body and mind. Many
individuals with persisting COVID-19 symptoms, also known as Long
Covid, may additionally experience anxiety and depression while
struggling to adjust to changes to their everyday life and the
uncertainty around their symptoms. These adjustment difficulties,
anxiety, and depression can lead to poor adherence to medical
treatments, contribute to disability, and negatively impact overall
quality of life.Drawing from existing evidence-based interventions,
and their experience treating clients with COVID-19, the authors have
developed a set of cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients
with persisting symptoms of COVID-19. The therapist guide contains
information on how to conceptualize psychiatric symptoms in the
context of COVID-19 within a cognitive behavioral framework, tips on
conducting an initial intake assessment, and a suite of cognitive
behavioral strategies to help clients manage emotional difficulties,
cognitive challenges, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, tailored for
COVID-19. The book also includes optional modules on enhancing
adherence to medical treatment, managing grief and loss, and working
with families.An accompanying client workbook contains worksheets and
client-friendly explanations of CBT concepts and techniques.
