ARC NetGalley review

Great book, I enjoying learning about our dream even if not having pts, but the concept of what makes a dream vs a nightmare which this book talks about, so great. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and all my friends that I know that are struggling with dream and are not even sure it’s pts, the author has tools for anyone could benefit from. But mostly those with pts.

I have mild PTSD and struggle with night terrors and flashbacks. I was really intrigued to read this and see what lessons i could learn. Some great factual information, great understanding of PTSD and its manifestations and also some really useful tips for sleep as insomnia is such a struggle for those with PTSD!

PTSDreams is a book that delves into the the meaning behind both dreams and nightmares. It breaks down this subject, from the difference between dreams and nightmares to how to heal nightmares. It gives us case studies to show us particular instances of PTSD dreams and also gives us exercises to put the tips into practice.

I was really drawn to this book for two reasons. First the cover and the fact that I am currently suffering from PTSD. As someone who has trouble sleeping and with night terrors I hoped that this book would help. I found the book a little too technical and did not enjoy the footnote layout.
There was also a part that praised Mother Teresa as a good positive influence yet a lot of shocking things have been reviled about her conduct and hospital;.

Uniformly I had to DNF the book. I think I'm not in the right place, I'm too open to suggestion. Every time I tried to read some of the book I would only get a few pages before I would want a nap.

I hope to try to read it again in the future.
