I have a slight long-term PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) from my days in S.E. Asia in the 60s. I was under treatment for it back in the early 70s but nothing seemed to help. My symptoms are a very faint fear of getting into a bed and trying to go to sleep. This happens most nights about 30 seconds before getting into bed and lasts for hours. Even after 40 some years.
Believe me, I have tried everything imaginable. Meditation and self hypnosis seems to work, a little, but I forget to do it most of the time. I'm an anti-medication kind of guy so pills are out of the question. But I have found that one, just one, OTC Acetaminophen tablet helps considerably.
My advise would be to have hubby try relaxation training and meditation. It takes discipline to make yourself do it.
