Study of Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy for Trauma-Related Nightmares

This study is looking at a behavioral treatment called Exposure, Relaxation, and Rescripting Therapy (ERRT) for people who experience frequent nightmares after a traumatic event. ERRT is a type of talk therapy designed to help reduce nightmares and improve sleep. Researchers want to understand how ERRT works and how much treatment is most effective. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have experienced a traumatic event, have about one nightmare each week, and can read and speak English. The main goal is to see how often you have nightmares over a period of up to 6 months.
