I use a lot of guided imagery cd's to help me go to sleep. I have a lot of sleeping difficulties-going to sleep and staying asleep because of nightmares. At least the cd's help me to fall asleep.
worked really well trying to get back to being able to do that
Wonderful ! This treatment and Emdr works well with PTSD for me. In combination with Emdr, it helps to release bad memories and negative behaviors which trigger episodes all of which, of course, are direct results of abuse.
was doing this with a spirtual guidance counselor and it helped A LOT
can work but not always, but it does help me fall asleep
simply done; often
My therapist has used some of this.
Love it. When I use it, I feel much better. This seems to be a way of getting power back that was taking in trauma. I appreciate knowing that I can undo anything that was done and replace it with the good.

I use this technique especially when the pain causes me to quick tempered and stressed out. Like when I feel like I am going to explode and can't go on one more step and I start being mean to everybody. It also helps when i am having trouble sleeping.
This did not work for me. I had a really bad flash back to my childhood bedroom & it terrified me so bad that I could never relax during a guided imagry again
