Nightmare Treatment Imperative
This course bundle offers everything you need to know about understanding, diagnosing and treating nightmares.
Everyone has occasional nightmares, but do you know the features that make them cause for clinical concern? Do you know how to track dreams to diagnose mental health changes and suicide risk? Understanding how to diagnose and treat nightmares is critical knowledge for all mental health professionals (whether or not you work with dreams otherwise). Nightmares are deeply implicated in most forms of mental illness, and are particularly problematic for those with traumatic injury, depression and anxiety. They are also linked to dramatically increased suicide risk and lower life expectancy. Therefore, they are imperative to diagnose and treat, even if you do no other form of dream therapy.
