hullo..
i am new here & have a question..
nightmares are plaguing me again and wondering what i can do to deal with them.
rarely have i ever been able to change the situations in my dreams as to wake up feeling empowered..apparently i talk a lot in my sleep and sometimes scream.i get to a place where i hear my own chatter and eventually wake up..but for a bit i seem to be trapped between the dream and waking..is not easy on the one im with and i resent the fact that this is such a problem..which inveitably leads to guilt..and im supposing more nightmares...
find it hard to meditate before bed and something halts any positive talk which might help fend off the dreams.
i have a wonderful therapist of four years and have had one emdr session which seems to have helped.
guess im frustrated that ive been working on the whys of ptsd so long and am still dealing with this..& that it is affecting a relationship which means a great deal to me..
anyway..forgive my rambling on.
any suggestions would be muchly appreciated.
