This easy to teach and safe stabilisation technique can be used by all therapists to help their clients resolve nightmares, whether from traumatic experiences, stress, anxiety or medication.
Nightmares are generally more prevalent than commonly thought, especially after trauma. Once nightmares are resolved and peaceful sleep is achieved, clients not only benefit from the improvements to mood, but also experience a reduction in intrusive trauma symptoms.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Learn how to use the Dream Completion Technique to stop all types of nightmares and sleep disturbance
- Teach this approach to clients, using appropriate examples, and utilise it within a therapy session
Please note that this approach can be used by all therapists of any modality; it is not just for trauma therapists.
