Chronic nightmares can have debilitating effects on those who experience them, especially for individuals with a history of trauma, leading to anxiety and depression due to inadequate sleep. Emerging research highlights a new therapy called narrative enhanced imagery rehearsal (N-IRT), which blends imagery rehearsal and narrative therapy. This approach, initially focused on veterans with PTSD, involves rewriting nightmare scripts to reframe the issues presented in the dreams. The encouraging results suggest that N-IRT could be an effective treatment option for anyone struggling with chronic nightmares.
