Nightmares are almost always the result of unresolved anxiety or trauma. Sometimes, the person feels absolutely fine during the day, but experience hell during the night. To pin point the cause of nightmares, look back in the past and find something that is still troubling when it is brought to the surface. If you do not like to even think about it, chances are good that you hit the cause. Treatment is straightforward. Depending on each person, we will use either EMDR, Hypnosis, or Visual Coding to eliminate the trigger. In other words, if we address the right emotion, chances are high that we can eliminate the nightmares in a little as one session. If can not, obviously, treatment will take a little longer.
