I have been an expert in EMDR for more than 28 years. Along with EMDR, I use CBT and Solution Focused therapy to achieve rapid and lasting positive changes for my clients. My No More Nightmares program is extremely successful on very rapidly helping people to sleep peacefully through their dreams. Even in Iraq with clients who were still going back out on convoys, they are now sleeping peacefully.

No More Nightmares Class

Hosted by
Dr. Beverly Ann Dexter

Learn how to use Planned Dream Intervention® to help you end nightmares. This is a class, not therapy, and also provides you with my book. Most individuals who learn how to effectively use this skill are no longer woken up by nightmares after they use the intervention. This usually results in uninterrupted sleep. In addition to not being scared by dreams, you get much better sleep. This class will be limited to 6 or less, is 2.5 hours, and in English. I can teach the class at your group location, and can teach the class over Internet such as Skype.
