Nikki,

First off: I love you.

No doubt you're thinking that you have let me down, well you haven't. You never asked for all this. You've done so well lately, and yes, you have been happy. You have had reminders, the dream, and the flashbacks; you don't need to be ashamed of being scared. I don't want you to "pretend", I just want you to fight through every iota of it, which I know you can do.

As I have said so many times: Look how far you have come, now. Look at the girl you were, to the young woman you are, now; you are an incredible person, and you're a lot stronger than you believed you were, as you have seen, first hand.

I'm sure, that one day, you will look back on all of this, as you have looked back on all the obstacles in life, and you will smile, becase you'll realise just how far you have come.

Remember, you are older, stronger, and reinforced.

All,

I hope the other people here can advise Nikki, because, especially with the confidentiality, I'm not sure what the best move would be; I am leaning more towards her seeing these people and getting the support, but, like Nikki, the confidentiality is disconcerting.
