TUfall2003 21 “The nightmares caused me all sorts of problems,” says Warden, such as an inability to focus or concentrate, a serious drawback for a doctoral student. On March 24, 2001, She was always tired and fell asleep in some evening classes. “One professor even spoke to me about it and asked if I had sleep apnea or something.” Leslie Warden’s 17-year-old But Warden was able to nearly eliminate the frequency of the nightmares, which occurred 3 to 4 times a week, and their intensity, by undergoing a new treatment developed by TU Psychology Professor Joanne Davis. daughter, Elizabeth, died of The new approach is aimed at eliminating recurring nightmares that are rooted in traumatic events. Nightmares, which can be a sign of other prob- a seizure while she was lems, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, result in lack of sleep and anxiety. Davis said the treatment is a cognitive behavioral technique that addresses several key elements, including the way people think about their nightmares spending the night at a and the trauma, and the behavior they engage in to try to cope. The technique is aimed at those who suffer from nightmares at least once a week and who have a history of trauma such as personal violence, military friend’s house. Nine months combat, natural disasters or chronic illness that have affected the person or a loved one. later, around Christmas, To begin, Davis says, the person writes out his or her nightmare in great detail, “which is very scary for a lot of people.” Although this step is con- ducted during daylight hours and in a safe setting — Davis’s laboratory at TU Warden started having — it still can be upsetting. Themes are then identified in the nightmare, such as feeling powerless, feeling unsafe, lack of trust in others, low self-esteem, lack of control and disturbing and recurring problems of intimacy. Next, says Davis, the person is asked to rewrite the nightmare. “They nightmares. change it to deal with the themes we’ve identified.” For example, people who are powerless in their dream now gain control in the rescripted version. The person is then instructed to visualize this new version of the old nightmare for In these dreams, Warden about 15 minutes before going to bed. In addition, subjects are shown ways they can control their thoughts and could see her daughter their behavior that are conducive to nightmares.
