I have a nightmare every night where when I wake up I can't remember the whole thing and have various aches and pains and wake up in panic.

The way I am handling this is that I keep a journal every night and I have set up a relaxation program where I journal then go take a long hot bath and then lay in bed and listen to relaxation music and a relaxatrion visualization that my therapist LL and I did during a therapy session and recorded it at the same time.

when SKR was my therapist I was also calling her voicemail phone number right before I went to bed so that that number was the last number dialed so when I woke up and needed to hear my therapist voice all I needed to do was hit redial insstead of remembering in panic what the number was. Sometimes I would also talk on her voicemail and or answering machine before or after having the nightmare.

I have flashbacks too and I use the relaxation visualizations, listening to music, journaling, and artwork for them.

Hang in there.
