Nightmare Rescripting and Rehearsal

This study aims to test the efficacy of an abbreviated version of Imagery Rehearsal Therapy administered by non-mental health professionals in a Primary Care setting. This treatment, to be called 'Nightmare Rescripting and Rehearsal Therapy' (NRRT) would arm Primary Care medical personnel with a nonpharmacologic, ten minute intervention for treating recurring nightmares. The study will provide sleep hygiene education to both the control and experiment groups, NRRT to the experiment group only, and compare their Nightmare Distress Questionnaire and Nightmare Frequency Tool at two (2), four (4), and six (6) week intervals.
