Is it possible to reduce (or better yet, eliminate) nightmares/dreams of reliving your trauma? Has anyone had success with any specific medications or techniques? I've seen psychologists, counsellors, trauma therapists, somatic therapists, etc but none have ever adequately addressed my nightmares. My sleep is so disturbed in every sense of the word and it affects my partner too. Every time I have these nightmares it follows me throughout the day and I just can't escape it.

Some people have found success in reducing nightmares associated with PTSD through medication, such as prasozin or Saphris. Others have mentioned that EMDR therapy has been helpful. Grounding techniques and creating a calming bedtime routine can also be beneficial. Some individuals have also found relief through ASMR, specifically maternal-themed ones like 'mom tucks you in'. Exercise during the day to tire oneself out and reading before bed to distract the mind have also been suggested. However, it's important to note that what works can vary from person to person.
