Possibly: Guided imagery is a potentially useful mind-body modality that is worth trying. If that doesn't help, you may want to consider working with a licensed hypnotherapist.

Or see a psychologist or psychiatrist for other treatments.

Probably not: True night terrors do not respond well to various psychotherapies but there is little harm in trying if other things have not worked.
