In this course, we present ways that may help resolve nightmares and recognize look at how fear is unhealthy for both our mental health, cognitive development and well-being. How fear management can be used to lower elevated fear to stop the fear-replay we know as nightmares. In addition we look at other challenges with fear, negative self-think and choice that can have an undesired consequence to the quality of our dreams and waking life. And how to monitor thoughts and feelings that may deepen into patterns of self-abuse, addiction and larger problems hopefully nipping it in the but before self-help fails and clinical assistance is needed. Dreaming isn’t a cause rather it is influenced by waking life experiences that may be linked to child-abuse, trauma, fear, grief that are replaying for resolution, but only further deepening those underlying challenges.

What this course cannot do: Resolve substance-induced nightmares. Fix deeply rooted psychological fears that may have progressed to far into psychosis. Replace a trained mental health facilitator. It can only go as far as self-help can go and doesn’t guarantee results in some cases where drugs, alcohol, addiction are replaying negative self-abuse patterns in dream replay.

What this course can do: Raise awareness about substance abuse, fear, negative thinking and how these patterns deepen into larger issues for people that may be in the early, or mild stage of systemic mental health issues before it becomes a clinical problem.
