Abstract

This article discusses posttraumatic nightmares as a symptom of PostTraumatic Stress Disorder. The differences between ordinary nightmares and posttraumatic nightmares are described. A Traumatic Dream Defusing Process is presented for working with posttraumatic dreams in counseling following a traumatic event. Techniques for assisting survivors to process their traumatic dreams outside of the counseling session are addressed.
