Nightmares and what you can
do about them
 Nightmares
are very common following a traumatic event. Whether they
picture the traumatic event directly, or involve other images and
themes, or both, they probably reflect a normal healing process, and
will diminish in frequency and intensity
if recovery is progressing. If after several weeks no change is
noted, consultation with a therapist is advisable.
IASD is offering a selection of articles that are helpful both for adults
having nightmares and for parents with children having nightmares.
