((MUE)) - I deal with a lot of nightmares/night terrors. Has your T ever talked to you about something called a "Nightmare Protocol"? I have found it really helpful in reorienting myself when I wake up from nightmares to use this protocol... It's fairly simple, you just say a couple sentences out loud that reaffirms to you that it was just a dream and not reality. It's used for those with PTSD but I think it would work for anyone. Here's the link to the PDF file, you'll have to scroll through a few pages to get to the Nightmare Protocol. There's also one for flashbacks if that's an affliction you face as well.

Sorry about the migraines. Those are no fun...
Thanks for this!
