Therapy for nightmares?

[Givemestrengthorvodka]

I have an adult family member that has terrible nightmares on a nightly basis. They are linked to trauma from a previous divorce. They are at a loss as to what treatment might help. Does anyone have experience of something similar and found a treatment that helped? They are already on citalopram and have had some counselling sessions in the past. Thanks!

PTSD needs a particular form of treatment because of the way the traumatic memories were laid down. There are talking therapies that are effective but also look into EMDR.

The main evidenced trauma therapies are EMDR and trauma-focused CBT. Personally I'd opt for EMDR, it is really effective.

Thanks very much both. I'll look into EMDR.
