The Nightmare Treatment Imperative – Full course for Clinicians
Learn why treating nightmares is both essential and surprisingly simple in this online course for mental health professionals, dreamworkers, and anyone who supports those with nightmares.
In this course you will learn the basics of the best methods for treating nightmares, and then we will look further into ways to help those more complex cases that may require additional help. I have developed a process called Nightmare Relief that incorporates the results of my research, the best-tested practices currently known, and the new ways of treating trauma based on our current understanding of the nervous system’s response to threat. Demonstrations and clinical examples will be included, so you can both offer immediate relief and longer-term support for those whose nightmare are more chronic.
