General Bad Nightmares

[FlameTachiku]

I do not want to talk about it or to feel compelled to help someone who care's about me through their own process of experiencing my reaction to the nighmares. However, it is sooo nice sometimes not to be alone. I like to listen to someone talk about things not related to suffering. It sure does help.:smile:

I have had nightmares since seeing the new Batman movie.
I feel like I am reliving the nightmare all the next day, so i talk about it, and I talk about an alternative ending. It does not always work.

Xarmywife nails it with the calm and steady.
Stay calm and be reasurring. Create a safe zone whether by holding or by voice. Even music or a backrub. Use what works to soothe.
I have used some and all of these at different times. Depending on his nightmares. I've also kept a journal because he talks ALOT and although he may never want to read it I have it. If he ever seeks professional help it may be useful to know what it is he cries out. Just my ideas.

Good Luck
